Question
Answer
Actual Yield   The amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction in reality. This may differ from the theortical yeildbecause the raw materials may not be pure or the reaction my not be complete.  
🗑
Addition   In polymer chemistry, a large molecule formed from alkene monomers added together to form chains.  
🗑
Alkane   A hydrocarbon in which all the bonds are single bonds.  
🗑
Alkene   A hydrocarbon in which two or more bonds are joined by double bonds.  
🗑
Atom Economy   The propertion of reactants that are converted into useful products.  
🗑
Biodegradable   Able to be broken down by soil bacteria.  
🗑
Condensation   A type of reaction in which two molecules join togetherto make a larger one, with water as a by product.  
🗑
Covalent Bond   A type of chemical bond in which a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms.  
🗑
Cracking   A type of chemical reaction in which large alkane are decomposed to form two smaller alkanes and alkenes.  
🗑
Cross-Links   Strong covalent bonds that form between polymer molecules.  
🗑
Displayed Formula   A diagram of the structure of a molecule in which the elements are represented by letters and the bonds are shown by straight lines.  
🗑
Double Bond   Two covalent bonds between two atoms, involving two shared pairs of electrons.  
🗑
Empirical   Worked out from an experiment. A formula of this is worked out by dividing the mass of each element in a compound by its relative atomic mass.  
🗑
Expected Yield   The amount of product expected to be obtained from a reaction.  
🗑
Formula   An abbreviation for a substance with two or more atoms. The formula contains the symbols for the different elements in the substance, with numbers to show if there are two or more atoms of a particular element present.  
🗑
Fraction   A constituent part of crude oil produced by fractional distillation.  
🗑
Fractional Distillation   An idustrial process used to seperate the constituent parts of crude oil.  
🗑
Hydrocarbon   An organic compound contianing just carbon and hydrogen.  
🗑
Hydrogenate   To react with hydrogen.  
🗑
Molecule Formula   A chemical code that shows how many of each atom there are in a molecule.  
🗑
Monomer   A small molecule, for example an alkene, that can be joined to many other small molecules to form a much larger molecule.  
🗑
Monounsaturated   A substance (usually a fat) that only has one double bond.  
🗑
Percentage Yield   The percentage of theoretical yield that you actually get in a reaction.  
🗑
Plasticiser   A substance added to polymers to make them softer and more felxible. They allow polymer chains to slide over each othermore easily.  
🗑
Polymer   A large molecule made by linking lots of small molecules (monomer).  
🗑
Polymerisation   The process by which small alkenes (monomers) join together to form large molecules (polymers).  
🗑
Polyunsaturated   A substance (usaully a fat) that has more than one double bond.  
🗑
Raw Material   A starting substance for the manufature of a particular chemical.  
🗑
Relative Atomic Mass   The mass of an atom compared to the mass of a carbon atom, which has a relative atomic mass of 12.  
🗑
Relative Formula Mass   The mass of a molecule relative to the mass of a carbon atom.  
🗑
Repeated Unit   A section or monomer of a polymer which shows its structure.  
🗑
Saturated Hydrocarbon   A compound of hydrogen and carbon in which there are only single bonds. Aklanes are examples of these.  
🗑
State Symbol   Symbol used in chemical equation to show whether a substance is solid, liquid, gas or dissolved in water.  
🗑
Sustainable Development   Meeting teh needs of teh existing population without damaging the ability of future generations to meet future generations to meet their own needs.  
🗑
Synthesis   Making a substance using chemical reations.  
🗑
Theorical Yield   The maximum calculated amount of product that can be obtained form a particular quantity of reactants.  
🗑
Thermoplastic   A polymer that softens or melts when heated and becomes hard agian when cooled.  
🗑
Thermosetting   A polymer that cannot be melted or remoulded again once formed.  
🗑
Toxic   Poisonous. Can cause death if swallowed, breathed in or come into contact with skin.  
🗑
Toxity   How toxic or poisonous a substance is.  
🗑
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon   A compound of hydrogen and carbon in which there is one or more double bond. Akenes are examples of these.  
🗑
Unsaturated Monomer   A small molecule that can form a polymer because it contains a double bond.  
🗑
Viscous   Sticky or thick, liquids like this are really hard to pour.  
🗑
Hi Danielle   I just got bored :p good luck revising!! from soph :) xx
