Question Answer
Isotopes Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
Atomic number The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Mass number The number of particles (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus
Ion A (positively or negatively) charged atom or group of atoms
Relative Isotopic Mass The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon 12
Relative molecular mass (Mr) The weighted mean mass of a molecule compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon 12
Relative formula mass The weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Amount of substance The quantity whose unit is the mole
The Avogadro constant The number of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope (6.02x10^23)
Mole The amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of the carbon 12 isotope
Molar mass The mass per mole of a substance. The units of molar mass are g/mol
Empirical formular The simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
Molecule A small group of atoms held together by covalent bonds
Molecular formula The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
Molar volume The volume per mole of a gas (approx. 24 dm^3/mol at room temp. and pressure)
Concentration of solution The amount of solute in mol, dissolved per dm^3 of solution
A standard solution A solution of known concentration
Species Any type of particle that takes part in a chemical reaction
Stoichiometry The molar relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction
Acid A species that is a proton donor
Base A species that is a proton acceptor
Alkali A type of base that dissolves in water forming hydroxide ions
A salt Any chemical compound formed from an acid when a H+ ion from the acid has been replaced by a metal ion or another positive ion
Cation Positively charged ion
Anion Negatively charged ion
Hydrated A crystalline compound containing water molecules
Anhydrous A substance that contains no water molecules
Water of crystallisation Water molecules that form an essential part of the crystalline structure of a compound
Oxidation number Measure of the number of electrons that an atom uses to bond with atoms of another element.
Oxidation Loss of electrons
Reduction Gain of electrons
Redox reaction A reaction where both reduction and oxidation take place
