SPM Chemistry Form 5 Definition List

1. Effective collision (Collision theory) – collision that results in a chemical reaction where the particles collide with the correct orientation and are able to achieve the activation energy.
2. Homologous series – organic compounds (families) with similar formulae and properties.
3. Catalyst – a chemical that alter the rate of reaction.
4. Positive catalyst – increases the rate of reaction & lower the activation energy.
5. Negative catalyst – decreases the rate of reaction & higher the activation energy
6. Organic compounds – carbon-containing compound. Carbon atoms form covalent bonds.
7. Inorganic compounds – compounds from non-living things which do not contain the element carbon.
8. Saturated hydrocarbons – hydrocarbons containing only single bonds between all carbon atoms.
9. Unsaturated hydrocarbons – hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond.
10. Esterification – esters are produced
11. Vulcanisation – process which makes the natural rubber harder and increases its elasticity by adding sulphur.
12. Redox reaction – chemical reactions involving oxidation and reduction occurring simultaneously.
13. Flavouring – improve the taste or smell of food and restore taste loss due to food processing.
14. Stabilisers – help to mix two liquids that usually do not mix together so that they form an emulsion.
15. Thickeners – substances that thicken food and give the food a firm, smooth and uniform texture.
16. Precipitation – the heat change when one mole of a precipitate is formed from their ions in aqueous solution.
17. Displacement – the heat change when one mole of a metal is displaced from its salt solution by a more electropositive metal.
18. Neutralisation – the heat change when one mole of water is formed from the reaction between an acid and an alkali.
19. Combustion – the heat change when one mole of a substance is completely burnt in oxygen under standard conditions.

Chemistry Form 4 Definition List

Chemistry Form 4 Definition List

1. Element – a substance consists of one type of atom.
2. Compound – a substance consists two or more elements that are chemically bonded (molecule or ions).
3. Atom – smallest particle of an element.
4. Molecule – a group of two or more atoms.
5. Ion – a positively charged / negatively charged particle.
6. Isotopes – atoms of the same element with same proton number but different nucleon numbers.
7. Relative atomic mass of an element = the average mass of one atom of an element/((1/12) x the mass of one carbon-12 atom)
8. Relative molecular mass of an element = the average mass of one atom of an molecule/((1/12) x the mass of one carbon-12 atom)
9. Molecule formula – compound shows the actual number of atoms of each element that are present in a molecule of the compound
10. Empirical formula – compound shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in the compound
11. Mole – amount of substance that contains as many particles as the number of atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12 the symbol of mole is mol.
12. One mole – Avogadro constant – 6.02 x 10²³
13. Group (Periodic Table) – vertical columns of element (similar chemical properties).
14. Periods (Periodic Table) – horizontal rows of element.
15. Valence electrons – electrons that occupy the outermost shell.
16. Ionic bond – bond formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms of metal and non-metal to achieve the stable octet electron arrangement.
17. Ionic compound – consist of positive ions and negative ions which are held by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
18. Covalent bond – bond formed through the sharing of non-metal electrons to achieve the stable duplet or octet electron arrangement.
19. Covalent compound (also simple molecular structure) – consists of neutral molecules which are held by weak intermolecular forces (Van der Waals).
20. Alkali (base) – chemical substance which ionizes in water to produce hydroxide ions, OH^-.
21. Acid – chemical substance which ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions, H⁺ or hydroxonium ions, H₃O⁺.
22. pH – degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Scale ranges from 0 to 14.
23. pH value – measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions, H⁺.
24. Strong alkali – ionises (dissociates) completely in water to form hydroxide ions, OH^- of high concentration.
25. Weak alkali – ionises (dissociates) partially in water to form hydroxide ions, OH^- of low concentration.
26. Strong acid – ionises (dissociates) completely in water to form hydrogen ions, H⁺ of high concentration.
27. Weak acid – ionises (dissociates) partially in water to form hydrogen ions, H⁺ of low concentration.
28. Polymer – long chain molecules made up by monomer (repeating unit).
