Matric Chem Definitions

the mass in grams of one mole of that substance

a homogenous mixture of solute and solvent

the substance that is dissolved in the solution

the substance in which another substance is dissolved, forming a solution

the amount of solute per unit volume of solution

measure of the extent of a reaction, generally measured by comparing the amount of product against the amount of product that is possible

a bond which occurs between atoms within molecules

a sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metal atoms

an equal sharing of electrons

unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming (as a result of electronegativity difference)

a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons

a transfer of electrons and subsequent electrostatic attraction

being between a positive kernel and a sea of delocalised electrons

weak force of attraction between molecules, ions, or atoms of noble gases

a reaction involving the transfer of electrons

the loss of electrons

the gain of electrons

a substance that accepts electrons

a substance that donates electrons

the net change of chemical potential energy of the system

reactions which transform chemical potential energy into thermal energy

reactions which transform thermal energy into chemical potential energy

the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction OR the energy required to form the activated complex

a high energy, unstable, temporary transition state between the reactants and the products
