What is atomic number?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
What is an electron?
A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus at fixed energy levels.
What is the relative mass of an electron?
1/1836.
What is relative atomic mass?
The weighted mean mass of an atom compared with 1/12th mass of a carbon atom.
What is relative isotopic mass?
The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with 1/12 mass of an atom of carbon-12.
What is relative formula mass?
weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared to 1/12 the mass of a carbon -12 atom
What is relative molecular mass?
the weighted mean mass of a molecule compared to 1/12 mass of a carbon -12 atom
What is the charge of carbonate?
CO3. 2-
What is the charge of hydroxide?
OH. 1-
What is the charge of nitrate?
NO3. 1-
What is the charge of sulfate?
SO4. 2-
What is the charge of zinc ion?
Zn. 2+
What is the amount of substances?
The quantity that has moles in its units, used as a way of counting atoms.
How can the amount of substances be calculated?
Using mass (n=m/M) or volume concentration (n=CV).
What does anhydrous mean?
A crystalline compound containing no water.
What is atom economy?
A measure of the amount of starting materials that ends up as useful products.
Why is a high atom economy good?
It means that a process is sustainable and less waste is produced.
What is the formula for % atom economy?
% atom E = (mass of desired/ sum of all reactants masses) x100.
What is an empirical formula?
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound.
What does hydrated mean?
A crystalline compound that contains water.
What is an ideal gas?
A gas which has molecules that occupy negligible space with no interactions between them.
What is the ideal gas equation?
pV = nRT.
What is a mole?
The amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12 isotope.
What is percentage yield?
The percentage ratio of the actual yield of products from a reaction compared with the theoretical yield.
