| The Pauli Exclusion Principle | No more than two electrons may occupy an orbital and they must have opposite spin. |
| A Compund | A substance that is made up of two or more different elements combined together chemically. |
| The Octet Rule | When bonding occurs, atoms tend to reach an electron arrangement with eight electrons in the outermost shell. |
| An Ion | A charged atom or group of atoms. |
| An Ionic Bond | The force of attraction between oppositely charged ions in a compound. |
| A Transition Metal | A transition metal is one that forms at least one ion with a partially filled d sublevel. |

| Electronegativity | The relative attraction that an atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond. |
| Van der Waals Forces | Van der Waal forces are weak attractive forces between molecules resulting from the formation of temporary dipoles. |

| Hydrogen Bonds | Hydrogen bonds are particular types of dipole-dipole attractions between molecules in which hydrogen atoms are bonded to nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The hydrogen atom carries a partial positive charge and is attracted to the electronegative atom in another molecule. Thus, it acts as a bridge between two electronegative atoms. |

| Kinetic Theory of Gases | 1. Gases are made up of particle that are in continuous motion, 2. There are no attractive/repulsive forces between the molecules of a gas, 3. Their molecules are so small and widely separated that the actual volume is negligible compared with the space that they occupy, 4. When molecules collide, there is no loss of kinetic energy but there may be a transfer of energy between the colliding particles, 5. The average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature (Kelvin). |
| An Ideal Gas | An ideal gas is one that obeys all the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases under all conditions of temperature and pressure. |
| Real Gases differ from Ideal Gases because.. | (i) Forces of attraction and repulsion between the molecules and, (ii) The volume of the molecules is not negligible (especially at high pressure). |
