Empirical formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
5 of 20
Molecular formula
The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
6 of 20
Atomic number
The number of protons in an atom or an ion of an element
7 of 20
Mass number
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
8 of 20
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons
9 of 20
1st ionisation energy
The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions
10 of 20
2nd ionisation energy
The energy required to remove 1 electron from each 1+ ion in 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions to form 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions
11 of 20
nth ionisation energy
The energy required to remove 1 electron from each (n-1)+ ion in 1 mole of gaseous (n-1)+ ions to form 1 mole of gaseous n+ ions
12 of 20
Ionic bond
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
13 of 20
Covalent bond
A shared pair of electrons
14 of 20
Dative covalent bond
A shared pair of electrons where both of the bonding electrons come from the same atom
15 of 20
Electron pair repulsion theory
Electron pairs repel each other meaning the number of electron pairs around a central atom determines its shape
16 of 20
Electronegativity
The attraction that each bonded atom has for the pair of electrons in the covalent bond
17 of 20
Polar bond
A covalent bond between two atoms with different electronegativities in which the bonded electron pair is drawn closer to the more electronegative ion
18 of 20
Polar molecule
A molecule in which the electron density is not equally distributed resulting in areas of high electron density(d-) and areas of low electron density(d+)
19 of 20
Metallic bond
The attraction between positive ions and free(or delocalised) electrons
