Periodic Table

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Ionic Bonding

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Covalent Bonding

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Metallic Bonding

StarStarStarStar

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

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

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

Ligand

StarStarStarStar

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

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

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

Electronegativity

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Lewis Acid and Base

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Redox Reaction

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Acid-Base Reaction

StarStarStarStar

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

StarStarStarStar

Chelation

StarStarStarStar

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

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

Actinide Series

StarStarStarStar

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

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

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.

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

Complex Ion

StarStarStarStar

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