Words Meaning

Ions An electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss

or gain of one or more electrons

An acid is a molecule or ion capable of either donating a proton or

forming a covalent bond with an electronic pair
Acid
Compounds that form hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
(Arrhenius)

A base is any substance that in water solution is

slippery to the touch, tastes bitter, changes the colour
Base
of indicators ( e.g., turns red litmus paper blue), reacts
with acids to form salts, and promotes certain chemical
reactions (base catalysis).

compounds that form hydroxide ions when dissolved in water

(Arrhenius)

Process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are

converted to one or more different substances, the product.
Chemical reaction

A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical

Chemical equation A written representation, using numbers and symbols, of the
process that occurs during a chemical reaction.

Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction. They

undergo a chemical change in which chemical bonds are broken
Reactants and new ones are formed to make products
Substances that start a chemical reaction and are used up in the
process.

Products New substances that are formed from a chemical reaction.

Neutralisation A chemical reaction between an acid and a base

Precipitation An insoluble substance that emerges from a liquid solution mixture

Reaction rate A measure of how fast a chemical reaction happens over time

Concentration Amount of dissolved solute in a solution at a temperature

Catalyst A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is

not consumed in the process.

Temperature A measure of average kinetic energy of particles in a matter.
