?
Atom
The smallest part of an element that can't be broken down into anything simpler in a chemical reaction
1 of 19
Molecule
Two or more atoms covalently bonded together
2 of 19
Ion
A charged particle, usually formed when atoms lose or gain electrons
3 of 19
Compound
Two or more elements bonded together
4 of 19
Isotope
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
5 of 19
Relative atomic mass
Weighted mean mass of an atom of the element compared to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
6 of 19
Relative isotopic mass
Mass of an atom of the isotope compared to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
7 of 19
Avogadro's constant
6.02 x 10^23
8 of 19
Molecular formula
The number of atoms of each element in a molecule
9 of 19
Empirical formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
10 of 19
Water of crystallisation
Water molecules that are part of the crystalline structure of a compound
11 of 19
Anhydrous
Containing no water of crystallisation
12 of 19
Concentration, mol dm^-3
The number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 dm^3 of solution
13 of 19
Standard solution
A solution of a known concentration
14 of 19
Stoichiometry
The ratio of the amount, in mol, of each substance in an equation
15 of 19
Theoretical yield
The maximum possible amount of product that can be produced from a complete conversion of reactants into products
16 of 19
Actual yield
The amount of product obtained from a reaction
17 of 19
Limiting reagent
The reagent that is completely used up in the reaction
18 of 19
Atom economy
(sum of molar masses of desired products / sum of molar masses of all product) x 100
