Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and

interactions of matter
2. Matter is anything that has mass, and occupies space
3. Element is a substance made up of only one type of atom
4. Compound is a substance that contains 2 or more elements that are
chemically bonded together
5. Atom is the smallest particle of an element which can take part in a
chemical reaction
6. Molecules are made up of two or more atoms of either different or similar
elements that are held together by chemical bonds
7. Ions are charged particles of atoms / a group of atoms that carry a positive
or negative charge
8. Diffusion is the random movement of particles from a region of higher
concentration to a region of lower concentration
9. Nucleon number = mass number
10. Proton number = atomic number
11. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton
but a different number of neutrons/ nucleon numbers
12. The relative atomic mass is how heavy one atom is compared to another
atom which is taken as the standard. /The mass of an atom when
compared to another atom.
13. The relative atomic mass of an element is the number of times one atom
of the element is heavier than one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12
atom
14. The relative molecular mass of a compound is the number of times one
molecule of the compound is heavier than one twelfth of the mass of a
carbon-12 atom
15. The relative formula mass of an ionic substance is the average mass of
one formula unit of the ionic substance when compared with one twelfth
of the mass of a carbon-12 atom
16. Avogadro constant is the number of particles in a mole = 6.02 x 10^23
17. The molar mass of a substance is the mass of 1 mol of the substance with
the unit grams per mol
18. The molar volume of a gas is the volume occupied by one mole of gas
19. A chemical formula is the representation of a chemical substance using
letters for atoms and subscript numbers to show the numbers of each type
of atoms that are present in the substance
20. The empirical formula of a compound gives the simplest whole number
ratio of atoms of each element in the compound
21. The molecular formula of a compound gives the actual number of atoms
of each element present in the molecule of the compound
22. Chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction in words or
using chemical formulae
