Q

Element

A

Each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e. the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.

Q

Atom

A

Consist of a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus made of neutrons and protons, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons, roughly 10−8 cm in diameter. Its smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.

Q

Proton

A

Is a positively charge particle that resides within the atomic nucleus. The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is what determines the atomic number of an element, as outlined in the periodic table of the elements.

16
Q

Electron

A

Is a fundamental particle, which means it cannot be broken into smaller particles. May be bound in the “electron cloud” surrounding an atomic nucleus, or may break free from the cloud as a “free electron.”

17
Q

Neutron

A

Is a subatomic particle contained in the atomic nucleus. It has no net electric charge, unlike the proton’s positive electric charge.

18
Q

Solution

A

Is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. May exist in any phase.

19
Q

Aqueous

A

Is a term used to describe a system which involves water. The word is also applied to a solution or mixture in which water is the solvent. When a chemical species has been dissolved in water, this is denoted by writing (aq) after the chemical name.

20
Q

Activity series

A

List of metals ranked in its order decreasing reactivity to displace hydrogen gas from water and acid solutions.

21
Q

Cation

A

Is an ionic species with a positive charge.

22
Q

Anion

A

An ionic species having a negative charge.

23
Q

Ionic compound

A

is a compound formed by ions bonding together through electrostatic forces.

24
Q

Molecule

A

They form when two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. It doesn’t matter if the atoms are the same or are different from each other.

25
Compound
It is a chemical species that is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically, with covalent or ionic bonds.
26
State
The particular condition that someone or something is in at a specific time
27
Metal
A substance with high electrical conductivity, luster, and malleability, which readily loses electrons to form positive ions (cations). Metals are otherwise defined according to their position on the Periodic Table, including groupings as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and rare earth metals.
28
Solvent
The component of a solution that is present in the greatest amount. It is the substance in which the solute is dissolved.
29
Solute
The substance that is dissolved in a solution. For solutions of fluids, the solvent is present in greater amount.
30
Polyatomic ion
Is an ion that comprises of two or more atoms.
