Question | Answer |
Atomic Number | Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. |
Mass Number. | Sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. |
Isotopes. | Atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. |
Empirical Formula. | Simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of each element in a compound. |
Molecular Formula. | Actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule. |
Atom Economy. | (Mass of desired product / Total mass of reactants) X 100. |
Relative Atomic Mass. | The average mass of one mole of atoms on the scale where the mass of Carbon-12 is equal to 12. |
Relative Molecular Mass. | The average mass of a molecule on a scale where the mass of Carbon-12 is equal to 12. Calculated by adding the relative atomic masses of its constituent atoms. |

Metallic Bond. | A lattice of positive ions surrounded by delocalised electrons. |
Electronegativity. | Ability of an atom to attract the electrons in a covalent bond. |
Polar bond. | Electrons are shared unequally (due to difference in electronegativity of atoms at either end). |
1st Ionisation Energy. | Energy change when one mole of electrons is removed from one mole of gaseous atoms. |
Homologous Series. | A series of organic compounds with; - the same general formula. -a trend in physical properties. -similar chemical properties. |
Functional Group. | A group of atoms responsible for the characteristic reactions of a compound. |
Structural Isomers. | Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures. |
Hydrocarbon. | A compound that contains hydrogen and carbon only. |
Saturated. | Contains only single C-C bonds. |
Fractional Distillation. | Separates molecules due to differences in boiling point. |
Fraction. | Mixture of compounds of a similar boiling point. |
Cracking. | Breaking a long chain alkane into a shorter chain alkane and an alkene. |
