Question Answer
Salt the compound produceed when the H+ ion of an acid is replaced with a metal ion or NH4+ ion
Disproportionation When an element is both oxdised and reduced in a reaction
Functional group the group of atomes responsible for the charateristic reactions of a compound
Standard Conditions 101KPa 298K
Electronegativity the ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a convalent bond
Homolytic fission Breaking of a convalent bond to form 2 radicals
Relative isotopic mass the mass of an isotope of an atom compared to 1/12 of carbon 12 which is taken as 12 exactly
Steroisomerism some molecular formula different 3-D arrangement in space
Acid substance that releases H+ ions in an aqueous solution
First ionsation Energy energy required to remove 1 electron from each mole of gaseous atoms of that element, to form a mole of gaseous ions with 1+ charge
Periodicity a trend whcich is repeated across different periods
Relative atomic mass the mean weighted mass of an atom compared to 1/12 of carbon 12 which is taken as 12 exactly
Structural Isomerism same molecular formula different structural formula
Nucleophile Electron donator gives a pair of electrons
Electrophile Accepts a pair of electrons
Homologous Series a series of organic compounds having the same functional group with each succesive member differing by CH2
Base a substance that can react with the hydrogen ion released by an acid
Hetrolytic Fission Bond breaking to form a cation and an anion
What is the reaction of chlorine and water? Cl2 + H20 goes to HCl + HClO
Group 2 are ......... Reducing Agents
Disadvantages of chlorinated water - Gas is TOXIC - Organic matter in water can become chlorinated hydrocarbons which may be harmful to health
Explain why Group 7's effective nuclear charge decreases as you go down the group -More electrons therefore should pull electrons more easily -Shielding and atomic radius outweigh charge -Effect of nuclear charge decreases therefore attraction experienced by electron is less
What are 2 uses of Group 2 metals? -Calcium hydroxide is a fertiliser -Magnesium hydroxide used in antiacid tablets
Group 7 are..... Oxidising agents
