IB Chem Atomic SL

QuestionAnswer
Element Same number of protons
Induction Evidence and data to rules and theory
OH- Hydroxide ion.
NO3,- Nitrate ion.
SO4,2- Sulphate ion.
PO4,3- Phosphate ion.
Formula unit Term for ionic compounds (smallest whole number ratio of the compound).
Ionic compound Formed from the attraction of positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions). Metal and a non-metal. dEN >1.8.
Covalent compound. Formed by sharing electrons. 2 non-metals. dEN 0 to 1.8.
Atom A single particle that is still an element (not subparticle).
Compound 2 or more elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio with unique properties.
Mixture Contain more than one element an/or compound that are not chemically bonded together and so retain their individual properties. No fixed ratio.
Homogenous Mixture with uniform properties.
Heterogenous Mixture with non-uniform properties.
NH4,+ Ammonium ion.
CO3,2- Carbonate ion.
Deduction Using rules and theory to find predict answers.
Theory An explanation that provides an understanding across a range of phenomena and disciplines.
Law A description of regular patterns of behavior.
Occam’s razor A theory should be as simple as possible while maximizing explanatory power.
Entropy Increase in randomness of matter and energy.
Enthalpy Increase loss of chemical energy.
Diatomic molecules H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Pure substance Cannot be separated by physical means.
Isotope Same number of protons different number of neutrons.
Cation Atoms with a positive charge.
Anion Atoms with a negative charge.
Polyatomic ion Covalent molecule with a negative charge
Retardation factor = distance moved by sample/distance moved by solvent
Liquid Fixed volume, no fixed shape, only Br2 and Hg elements at SATP (l).
Solid Fixes volmune and shape (s).
Gas No fixed volume or shape (g).
Aqueous Dissolved in water (aq).
Vaporising Endothermic process of liquid to gas - either boiling or evaporating.
Melting Endothermic process of solid to liquid.
Sublimation Endothermic process of solid to gas.
Deposition Exothermic process of gas to solid.
Freezing Exothermic process of liquid to solid.
Condensing Exothermic process gas to liquid.
Nucleon Protons and neutrons.
Proton Subatomic particle 1 amu postive charge.
Neutron Subatomic particle 1 amu no charge.
Electron Subatomic particle 1 amu negative charge.
Atomic number (Z) Number of protons.
Mass number (A) Number of protons and neutrons.
Ion Atom with a charge.
Transistion metal Element with incompletely filled d sub-shells in atomic or cationic form.
Relative atomic mass formula amu1 x proportion + amu2 x proportion + ...
Relative atomic mass The ratio of average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
UV light Electrons moving back to n=1
Visible light Electrons moving back to n=2
Infrared light Electrons moving back to n=3
Aufbau principle Electrons fill the lowest energy sublevels first.
Hund’s Rule In each sublevel, orbitals half fill first, before containing an electron pair.
Pauli exclusion principle Paired electrons have opposite spin.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
