Electron
In electron shells/orbitals
Relative mass 0 (1/2000th)
Relative charge -1
Acid
Contains H+ ions
pH of 1-6
Proton donor
Activation energy
Minimum energy required for a reaction to start
Minimum energy the reactant particles need to collide with for a reaction to occur between them
Alkali
Contains OH- ions
pH 8-14
A proton accepter
Soluble base
Anhydrous
Without water
A non crystalline solid (powder)
Atom economy
Ratio or percentage of the atoms usefully used compared to the total number of atoms involved in a chemical synthesis
Atom economy equation
Total Mr of useful products / total Mr of all reactants (x 100) = atom economy percentage
Avogadro’s constant
N(A)
Number of particles per mole
6.02 x 10^23
Base
A metal oxide or hydroxide
A proton acceptor
Catalyst
A chemical that speeds up a reaction without taking part in the reaction itself
Concentration of a solution
Moles of solute per 1dm^3 of solute
Units mol dm^-3 or g dm^-3
Covalent bonds
Each atom sharing one electron with another atom to complete the other shell of both atoms, occurs in non metal non metal molecules or giant structures
Empirical formula
The simplest whole number ration of atoms of each element present in a compound
Endothermic reaction
The total enthalpy of the products is higher than that of the reactants
Energy is taken in my the system
The temperature of the system will reduce
Energy transferred
Mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
Enthalpy Change
The energy change taking place in a reaction
Calculated using energy transferred equation
Exothermic reaction
The total enthalpy of the products is lower than that of the reactants
Energy is given out by the system
The temperature of the system will increase
Group
A vertical column in the periodic table, where all the elements in the group will have similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electrons in their outer shell. The group number tells you the number of electrons in the outer shell. The group number for metals shows you the positive charge on the ion of the metal atom. 8- the group for non metals shows you the negative charge on the ion of the non metal atom.
Hydrated
With water
Crystalline solid
Ionic bond
The electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Occurs in metal and non metal compounds
Isotope
Atoms of the same elements with different numbers of neutrons and different masses
Metal carbonate
Metal ion with the carbonate ion
