EMPIRICAL FORMULA | The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound. |
MOLECULAR FORMULA | The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule. |
WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION | The water present in a compound giving the compound a crystalline appearance. |
ACID | Releases H+ ions in a solution (proton donor). |
BASE | A proton acceptor. |
ALKALI | A soluble base that releases OH- ions when in a solution. |
SALT | A compound produced when a H+ ion from an acid is replaced by a metal or another positive ion, such as the ammonium ion. |
ANHYDROUS | When all the waters of crystallisation have been removed from a compound. |
HYDRATED | When water of crystallisation is present in a crystal compound. |
OXIDATION NUMBER | A measure of the number of electrons that an atom uses to bond with atoms of a different element. |
OXIDATION | The loss of electrons (an increase in oxidation number -state). |
OXIDISING AGENT | A reagent which oxidises another species (gets reduced itself). |
REDUCTION | The gain of electrons (a decrease in oxidation number -state). |
REDUCING AGENT | A reagent which reduces another species (gets oxidised itself). |
REDOX | A reaction where both oxidation and reduction take place. |
DISPLACEMENT REACTION | A reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of its halide ions. |
DISPROPORTIONATION | A reaction in which an element is simultaneously oxidised and reduced. |
ATOMIC ORBITAL | A region within an atom that can hold up to two electrons, with opposite spins. |
s/p/d BLOCK ELEMENT | Highest energy sub-shell is a s/p/d sub-shell. |
IONIC BONDS | The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. |
COVALENT BONDS | The sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms. |
DATIVE (CO-ORDINATED) BOND | The sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms where only one of the atoms supplies both the electrons shared. |
ELECTRONEGATIVITY | The ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons towards itself in a covalent bond. |
METALLIC BONDING | The attraction of positive metal ions to delocalised electrons. |
PERIODICITY | The repeating pattern of trends across different periods. |
HYDROGEN BOND | A dipole-dipole attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen on one molecule and a lone pair or electrons on a highly electronegative atom (N,O,F) of another molecule. |
FIRST IONISATION ENERGY | The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one more of gaseous 1+ ions. Units are KJ mole-1. |
SUCCESSIVE IONISATION ENERGY | A measure of the energy required to remove each electron in turn. |
