Intermolecular forces

Forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules that determine their physical properties.

Acids and bases

Substances that donate or accept protons (H+) in a chemical reaction.

Equilibrium

A state in a chemical reaction where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.

Composition of mixtures

The proportion of different substances in a mixture.

Chemical equilibrium

The state in a reversible chemical reaction where the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.

Spectroscopy

The study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.

Mathematical routines

Procedures or algorithms used to solve mathematical problems.

Moles and molar mass

Moles represent a specific number of particles, and molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.

Periodic trends

Patterns in the properties of elements on the periodic table.

Chemical reaction

Process that involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds to create new substances.

Representing data and phenomena

Methods used to visually or symbolically depict information or observations.

Valence electrons and ionic compounds

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom involved in bonding, and ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms.
