Chapter 2 - Ionic Bonding Flashcards
Define sublimation energy
The energy absorbed to convert one mole of solid metal into gaseous atoms
What is the Born-Haber process
A complete analysis of the energy changes in a reaction
Define dissociation energy
Energy absorbed to dissociate one mole of gas into separate gaseous atoms
Define ionisation energy
The minimum amount of energy required to remove one electron from a gaseous atom in its ground state
Define electron affinity
The energy given off or taken up when an electron is accepted by an isolated atom in the gaseous state
Define electronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond
Define lattice energy
The energy given off when atoms in gaseous phase come together to form a lattice
Define reaction enthalpy
The total energy change in the complete reaction
