acid
a species that releases H+ ions in aqueous solution.
1 of 21
acid dissociation constant Ka
the equilibrium constant that shows the extent of dissociation of a weak acid. For a weak acid HA(aq), Ka = +  [H (aq)][A (aq)] [HA(aq)] .
2 of 21
acid–base pair
a pair of two species that transform into each other by gain or loss of a proton.
3 of 21
activation energy
the minimum energy required to start a reaction by the breaking of bonds
4 of 21
actual yield
the amount of product obtained from a reaction.
5 of 21
addition polymerisation
formation of a very long molecular chain, by repeated addition reactions of many unsaturated alkene molecules (monomers)
6 of 21
addition reaction
a reaction in which a reactant is added to an unsaturated molecule to make a one saturated molecule.
7 of 21
adsorption
n the process that occurs when a gas or liquid or solute is held to the surface of a solid.
8 of 21
alicyclic
containing carbon atoms joined together in a ring that is not aromatic
9 of 21
aliphatic
containing carbon atoms joined together in straight or branched chains.
10 of 21
alkali
a type of base that dissolves in water forming hydroxide ions, OH– (aq) ions.
11 of 21
alkanes
the hydrocarbon homologous series with single carbon-to-carbon bonds and the general formula: CnH2n+2.
12 of 21
alkenes
the hydrocarbon homologous series with at one double carbon-to-carbon bonds and the general formula: CnH2n.
13 of 21
alkyl group
a side chain formed by removing a hydrogen atom removed from an alkane parent chain, for example, CH3, C2H5; any alkyl group is often shown as R.
14 of 21
alkynes
the hydrocarbon homologous series with one triple carbon-to-carbon bonds and the general formula: CnH2n–2.
15 of 21
amount of substance
the quantity whose unit of the mole, used as a means of counting any species such as atoms, ions and molecules.
16 of 21
anhydrous
containing no water molecules.
17 of 21
anion
a negatively charged ion with more electrons than protons
18 of 21
aromatic
containing one or more benzene rings.
19 of 21
atom economy
(sum of molar masses of desired products)/(sum of molar masses of all products) Å~100%.
20 of 21
atomic (proton) number
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
