The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
Relative atomic mass
mass that is measured in comparison to the carbon-12 isotope
Relative formula mass
The sum of the relative atomic mass of each element in the compound
Molar mass
a total of the atomic masses of all atoms that are present in a given compound
Molecular formula
shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a moleucle of the substance
Avogadro’s constant
the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance, equal to 6.023 × 10^23
Weak acid
acid dissociates/ionises partially/incompletely in water.
atomic number
number of protons
mass number / atomic mass
sum of protons and neutrons
isotopes
Atoms with the same number of protons(and electrons) but different numbers of neutrons
isotopes have same chemical property, but different physical property
electromagnetic spectrum
the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends
emission spectra
the range of wavelengths emitted by an atom or compound stimulated by either heat or electric current
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
it is impossible to state the exact position of an electron at a precise moment in time
Aufbau principle
electrons fill the lowest available energy levels before filling higher level
Hund's rule
if two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, electrons will occupy them singly before filling them in pairs
Pauli's exclusion principle
no two electrons can have the same four electronic quantum numbers
= each orbital can only contain a maximum of two electrons
First ionization energy
energy required to remove one electron from an atom
Chromatography
Rf = distance moved by solute/distance moved by solvent
A = mass number = protons and neutron
Z = atomic number = protons
elemental entity
any particle or group of specified particles (atom, electron, ion, molecule etc)
molecule
two or more atoms bonded together, a group of atomsbonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
theoretical yield
the maximum expected amount of products formed based on the stoichiometry ratios from the balanced chemical equation
experimental yield
theactual amount of product formed when the reaction is carried out by a scientist
standard solution
a solution of known concentraion
avogadro's law
at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gases contain the same number of particles
allotropes
different forms of an element in the same physical state
spectroscopy
the study of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter
aqueous solution
Solutions in which water is the solvent
Radioisotopes
radioactive isotopes that are unstable because of the numbers of subatomic particles they contain in their nuclei. Because of their instability, they emit various forms of radiation that can be used for different purposes
degenerate orbitals
The atomic orbitals within the same sublevel are of equal energy
Filtration involves the separation of an insoluble solid from a liquid or solution
Evaporation is used to separate a mixture which has a solute dissolved in a solvent which is usually water
Solvation involves the separation of a heterogeneous mixture of two solids based on differences in solubility if one of the substances is soluble in a solvent, but the other solid is insoluble
Distillation involves the separation of a liquid mixture based on the difference in volatility or boiling points between the components of the mixture
Paper chromatography is used to separate a mixture of solutes in a solvent. The mixture to be separated is first dissolved in a solvent
Recrystallisation is a separation technique used to remove impurities that are mixed in with a solid
deposition
the change of state from gas directly to solid
sublimation
When anything solid turns into a gas without first becoming liquid
concentration
amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solvent
atom economy
measure of desired useful products formed from reactants in a chemical reaction (生成物の中の何%が特定のproductなのかを示す)
