Enthalpy of formation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in standard states under standard conditions
Exothermic
Enthalpy of atomisation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms are formed from an element in its standard state
Endothermic
Enthalpy of 1st ionisation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions is formed from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
Endothermic
Enthalpy of 2nd ionisation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions is formed from 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions
Endothermic
1st electron affinity
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions are made from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
Exothermic
2nd electron affinity
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous 2- ions are made from 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions
Endothermic
Enthalpy of lattice formation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of solid ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions
Exothermic
Enthalpy of hydration
Enthalpy change when one mole of aqueous ions is formed from 1 mole of gaseous ions
Exothermic
Enthalpy of solution
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of solute is dissolved in enough solvent so that no further enthalpy change occurs on further dilution
Ex En
Enthalpy of lattice dissociation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of ionic compound separates into its gaseous ions
Endothermic
