MAss (nucleon) number
|
The number of particles (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus
|
|
Ion
|
A positively/negatively charged atom or (covalently bonded) group of atoms (a molecular ion)
|
|
Relative isotopic mass
|
The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twlfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
|
|
Relative atomic mass
|
(Ar) is the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
|
|
Relative molecular mass
|
(Mr) is 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. Chemists use 'amount of substance' as a means of counting atoms
|
|
Avogadro constant
|
(NA) the number of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope (6.02 x 10^23 mol^-1)
|
|
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 (m)
|
The mass per mole of a substance. The units of molar mass are g mol^-1
|
|
Empirical formula
|
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. The units of molar volume are dm^3 mol^-1. At room temperature and pressure, the molar volume is approximately 24.0 dm^3 mol^-1
|
|
Concentration
|
The amount of solute, in mol, dissolved per 1 dm^3 of solution
|
|
Standard solution
|
A solution of known concentration. Standard solutions are normally used in titrations to determine unknown information about another substance
|
|
Species
|
Any type of particle that takes place 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 dissolved in water forming hydroxide ions (OH-)
|
|
Salt
|
Any chemical compound formed from an acid when a H+ ion from the acid has been replaced by a metal ion or anohther positive ion, such as the amonium ion, NH4+
|
|
Cation
|
A positively charged ion
|
|
Anion
|
A negatively charged ion

Refers to a crystalline compound containing water molecules
|
|
Anhydrous
|
Refers to a substance that contains no water molecules
|
|
Water of crystallisation
|
Refers to water molecules that form an essential part of the crystalline structure of a compound
|
|
Oxidation Number
|
A measure of the number of electrons that an atom uses to bond with atoms of another element. Oxidation numbers are derived from a set of rules
|
|
Oxidation
|
The loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation number
|
|
Reduction
|
The gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation number
|
|
Redox Reaction
|
Is a reaction in which both reduction and oxidation take place
|
|
Reducing agent
|
A reagent that reduces (adds electron to) another species
|
|
Oxidising agent
|
A reagent that oxidises (takes electrons from) another species
