---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ionisation enthalpy | “the energy needed to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to make one mole of gaseous ions – e.g. Na(g) → Na+(g) + e-
🗑
|
||||
Hydrolysis | reaction with water or reaction with OH- (to make alcohols)
🗑
|
||||
Nucleophile | “a molecule or negatively charged ion with a lone pair of electrons that it can donate to a positively charged atom to form a covalent bond”
🗑
|
||||
Enthalpy profile | “a plot of reaction progress against enthalpy”
🗑
|
||||
Activation enthalpy | “the minimum kinetic energy required by colliding particles before reaction will occur”
🗑
|
||||
Catalyst | “a substance which speeds up a reaction but can be recovered chemically unchanged at the end. It works by providing an alternative pathway of lower activation enthalpy”
🗑
|
||||
Homogeneous | “when reactants and catalysts are in the same physical state”
🗑
|
||||
Heterogeneous | “when reactants and catalysts are in different physical states”
🗑
|
||||
Dynamic equilibrium | “a reaction when the forward and back reactions are occurring at the same rate. The concentrations of the products and reactants remains constant and it occurs in a closed system”
🗑
|
||||
Le Chatelier’s principle | “if a system is at equilibrium and a change is made in any of the conditions, then the system responds to counteract the change”
🗑
|
||||
Homolytic bond fission | “forms radicals”
🗑
|
||||
Heterolytic bond fission | forms ions
🗑
|
||||
Elimination reaction | “a small molecule is removed from a larger one leaving an unsaturated molecule”
🗑
|
||||
Addition polymerisation | “where 2 or more molecules react to form a single larger one”
🗑
|
||||
Addition reaction | “where 2 or more molecules react to form a single larger one”
🗑
|
||||
Electrophile | “a positively charged ion or a molecule with a partial positive charge that will be attracted to a negatively charged region and react by accepting a lone pair of electrons to form a covalent bond
🗑
|
||||
Carbocation | positively charged carbon atom
🗑
|
||||
Substitution reaction | when one functional group on an organic molecule is substituted for another one.
🗑
|
||||
Thermoplastic | a polymer which can be repeatedly heated and reshaped
🗑
|
||||
Thermoset | polymers which contain extensive crosslinking which prevents remoulding even when heated
🗑
|
||||
Co-polymer | “when more than one monomer is used during an addition polymerisation”
🗑
|
||||
Electronegativity | “the attraction of an atom for a pair of electrons in a covalent bond”
🗑
|
||||
Radical | a chemical with an unpaired electron
🗑
