Acidic
Solutions that have a higher concentration of H+ (aq) ions than OH- (aq) ions and have a pH below 7
Alkaline
Solutions that have a higher concentration of OH- (aq) ions than H+ (aq) ions and have a pH above 7
Catalyst
Substances that speed up chemical reactions but can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction.
Covalent bond
Forms when two positive nuclei are held together by their common attraction for a shared pair of electrons.
Diatomic Molecules
7 elements exist as diatomic molecules through the formation of covalent bonds: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Ion
Formed when atoms lose or gain electrons to obtain the stable electron arrangement of a noble gas
Ionic bond
The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
Isotope
Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers, or Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Mole
The mass of any substance, in grams equal to the gram formula mas
Neutral
A solution that has equal concentrations of H+(aq) and OHˉ(aq) ion
Neutralisation reactions
A reaction in which a base reacts with an acid to form water. A salt is also formed in this reaction
Spectator ion
Spectator ions are ions that remain unchanged by the reaction
