Definrions Flashcards
Electro negativity
Measure of attractiveness of an atom for a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond between two atoms of the same element
Intramolecular bonding
Forces within molecules
Hydrogen bonding
When H is bonded to a more electronegative element such as F, N or O
Oxidation numbers
The number of electrons an atom appears to have gained or lost when distributed according to certain arbitrary rules
Oxidation
Increase in oxidation number
Reduction
Decrease in oxidation number
Diffusion
Spontaneous spreading out of a substance due to the natural movement of its particles
Boyles gas law
At a constant temperature the volume of an gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on the gas
Charles law
At a constant pressure the volume of a given mass of any gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature
Gay lussacs law of combining volumes
When gases react the volumes consumed in the reaction bear a simple whole number ratio to each other and to the volumes of any gaseous products of the reaction, all volumes being measure under the same conditions of temp and pressure
Avogadros law
Equal volume of gases under the same conditions of temp and pressure contain equal number of molecules
Ideal gases
Obey all the assumption of the kinetic theory under all conditions of temp and pressure
Concentration
The amount of solute in a specified amount of solution
