Actinide Series

StarStarStarStar

A group of 15 metallic elements from actinium through lawrencium in the periodic table, most of which are radioactive.

StarStarStarStar

Lewis Acid and Base

StarStarStarStar

A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor, while a Lewis base is an electron pair donor.

StarStarStarStar

Covalent Bonding

StarStarStarStar

A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

StarStarStarStar

Oxidation State

StarStarStarStar

A number that represents the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

StarStarStarStar

Molecular Orbital Theory

StarStarStarStar

A theory that describes the electron structure of molecules in terms of molecular orbitals, which are formed from the combination of atomic orbitals.

StarStarStarStar

Ligand

StarStarStarStar

An ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.

StarStarStarStar

Precipitation Reaction

StarStarStarStar

A reaction that occurs when two soluble salts in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble solid, known as a precipitate.

StarStarStarStar

Periodic Table

StarStarStarStar

A tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties.

StarStarStarStar

Transition Metals

StarStarStarStar

A group of elements on the periodic table from groups 3 to 12 which have d-electrons and exhibit unique properties such as variable oxidation states and colored compounds.

StarStarStarStar

Crystal Field Theory

StarStarStarStar

A model that describes the electronic structure of transition metal compounds, where d-orbital degeneracy is broken due to ligand interactions.

StarStarStarStar

Metallic Bonding

StarStarStarStar

A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them.

StarStarStarStar

Coordination Compound

StarStarStarStar

A compound that contains one or more coordinate bonds, where a central metal atom is bonded to a number of anions or neutral molecules.

StarStarStarStar

Electronegativity

StarStarStarStar

A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

StarStarStarStar

Redox Reaction

StarStarStarStar

A chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed.

StarStarStarStar

Chelation

StarStarStarStar

A type of bonding in which a ligand forms multiple bonds with a single central atom within a complex.

StarStarStarStar

Complex Ion

StarStarStarStar

A charged species consisting of a central metal atom or ion bonded to one or more ligands by coordinate bonds.

StarStarStarStar

Acid-Base Reaction

StarStarStarStar

A reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt.

StarStarStarStar

Lanthanide Series

StarStarStarStar

A group of 15 metallic elements from lanthanum through lutetium in the periodic table, known for their f-electron configurations and magnetic properties.

StarStarStarStar

Ionic Bonding

StarStarStarStar

A type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

StarStarStarStar

Alloy

StarStarStarStar

A mixture composed of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, often having enhanced strength or other properties compared to the pure elements.
