Module 3 Keywords Flashcards
Periodicity
The repeating trends in properties of the elements
First ionisation energy
The energy required to remove an electron from each atom in one gaseous mole of an element to make one gaseous mole of 1+ ions
Second ionisation energy
The energy required to remove an electron from each ion in one gaseous mole of 1+ ions an to make one gaseous mole of 2+ ions
Metallic bond
Electrostatic force of attraction between delocalised electrons and the positive metal cation
Covalent bond
Strong electrostatic force of attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
Ionic bond
Electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions
Reducing agent
A reagent that gives electrons to another species, reducing that species
Oxidising reagent
A reagent that takes electrons from another species, oxidising that species
Reduction
Gain
Oxidation
Loss
Disproportionate reaction
When the same element is both ox and red
The chemical system
Atoms molecules or ions making up the chemicals
System
Chemicals, the reactants and products
Surroundings
The apparatus the lab and everything tat isn’t the chemical system
Universe
Everything. Both the surrounding and the universe
