A Flashcards
Endothermic
Energy is absorbed
Heat (energy) taken in
Temperature of the substance drops
Products feel COLD
Endothermic Reaction
REACTANTS + ENERGY -> PRODUCTS
or
REACTANTS + HEAT PRODUCTS
Exothermic
Energy Released
Heat (energy) given off
Temperature of the substance rises
Products feel HOT
Exothermic Reactions
REACTANTS -> PRODUCTS + ENERGY
Enthalpy
Enthalpy (H) is the total amount of energy in a substance
ΔH is the change in enthalpy of a chemical reaction
Electronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract electrons
Ionisation energy
The ability of an atom to hold electrons
First ionisation energy
Minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom in gaseous state
Ionisation energy trends
Increases with Increasing Nuclear Charge
Decrease with increasing Atomic Radius
