- 1Ionic bondingThe strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
- 2Ionic bond strengthThe amount of energy requried in one mole of solid to separate the ions to infinity (i.e. to the gas phase)
- 3Coordination numberThe coordination number of an ion the number of opppositely charged ions touching it
- 4IsoelectronicAtoms have the same number of electrons and hence, the same electron configuration
- 5CationPositive ion
- 6AnionNegative ion
- 7Bond lengthThe distance between nuclei of the two atoms that are covalently bonded together
- 8ElectronegativityThe ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
- 9Polar covalent bondA type of covalent bond between two atoms where the bonding electrons are unequally distributed. Because of this, one atom carries a slight negative charge and the other a slight positive charge.
- 10Discrete (Simple) moleculeAn electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
- 11Displaced (Full structural) formulaShows each bonding pair as a line drawn between the two atoms inolved
- 12Dative covalent bondA covalent bond in which both electrons in the bond are supplied by onlu one of the atoms involved in forming the bond
- 13Covalent bondThe strong electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of two atoms and the bonding pair of electrons.
- 14How is a covalent bond formed?By the overlap of two atomic orbitals each containing a single electron
- 15What determines the shape of a simple molecule/ion?The repulsion between the electron pairs that surround the central atom
- 16VSEPRValence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
- 17DipoleA dipole is said to exist when two charges of equal magnitude but opposite signs are separated by a small distance
- 18London forcesInstantaneous dipole-induced dipole interaction
- 19Permanent dipole interactionThe force resulting from the favourable or unfavourable interaction between two molecules that possess a permanent charge asymmetry
- 20Hydrogen bondAn intermolecular interaction (in which there is some evidence of bond formation) between a hydrogen atom of a molecule (or molecular fragment) bonded to an atom which is more electronegative than hydrogen and another atom in the same or a different molecule
- 21Intermolecular interactionsInteractions between molecules
- 22Van der Waals forceThe sum of all the intermolecular interactions between the molecules. The term includes London forces and permanent dipole-dipole interactions.
- 23Non-polar moleculeA molecule in which individual dipoles cancel each other out, resulting in no net dipole
- 24Polar moleculeA molecule in which individual dipoles reinforce each other out, resulting in an overall dipole
- 25Trend in boiling temperatures of alkanesIncreasing with increasing chain length
- 26Volatile liquidOne with a low boiling temperature
- 27Anomalous properties of water resulting from hydrogen bondingRelatively high melting and boiling points & ice is less dense than water
- 28Effect of branching in the carbon chain on the boiling temperature of alkanesBranched chain alkanes have lower boiling temperatures than their unbranched isomers
- 29Enthalpy of vaporisationA measure of the amount of energy that is required to completely separate the molecules of a liquid and convert it into a gas at the same temperature
- 30Test for unsaturation in moleculesBromine turns from yellow to colourless in unsaturated solutions
- 31AlkenesA homologous series of hydrocarbons with the general formula \(C_nH_{2n+2}\)
- 32AlcoholsA homologous series of hydrocarbons with the general formula \(C_nH_{2n+1}OH\)
- 33Hydration energyThe energy released when an ion is surrouned by water molecules
