Q

avogadro’s law

A

at a fixed temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the amount of gas (that is to the number of moles of gas, n, or to the number of molecules of gas).

17
Q

charle’s law

A

the volume of a fixed amount of a gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature

18
Q

ionic bond

A

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

19
Q

hydrogen bond

A

A hydrogen bond is the electrostatic attraction between polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F) experiences attraction to some other nearby highly electronegative atom.

20
Q

dipole force

A

An ion-dipole force is a force between an ion and a polar molecule. A hydrogen bond is a dipole-dipole force and is an attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen on one molecule and a slightly negative atom on another molecule.

21
Q

dispersion forces

A

London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces, London forces, instantaneous dipole–induced dipole forces, or loosely van der Waals forces) are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules. They are part of the van der Waals forces. The LDF is named after the German-American physicist Fritz London.

22
Q

cathode ray

A

Cathode rays (also called an electron beam or e-beam) are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes.

23
Q

isoelectronic

A

Two or more molecular entities (atoms, molecules, or ions) are described as being isoelectronic with each other if they have the same number of electrons or a similar electron configuration and the same structure (number and connectivity of atoms), regardless of the nature of the elements involved.

24
Q

ionic bond

A

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

25
Q

electronegativity

A

Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself. An atom’s electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus.

26
Q

ideal gas law

A

The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation to the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations.

27
Q

kinetic molecular theory

A

The rapidly moving particles constantly collide with each other and with the walls of the container. Kinetic theory explains macroscopic properties of gases, such as pressure, temperature, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and volume, by considering their molecular composition and motion.
