STPM Chemistry Form 6 Definition List:

The Hund Rule orbital with the same energy level (degenerate orbitals), electron
will occupy different orbital singly/one electron first with the parallel spin, before
pairing.(Reject: same spin, spin with same direction) STPM 2008, 2007
Pauli Exclusive Principle Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with
opposite spin.
(Reject: different spin) STPM 2007
Aufbau principle Electrons occupy orbitals with the lowest energy level first.
(Reject: occupy lower energy first) STPM 2006, 2007
Vapour pressure the pressure exerted by a vapour that is in equilibrium with its
liquid at a fixed temperature in a closed system. It is due to the collision of the
vapour particles on the walls of the container.

STOICHIOMETRY

Molarity (M) [concentration of a fluid solution] defined as the moles of a solute per
volume of solution.
Density [concentration of a fluid solution] defined as the mass of solution per
volume of solution.
Dilution addition of solvent to a solution resulting in an increase in the volume of
the solution and a decrease in the concentration of the solute in solution.
Precipitation reaction (also refer to as double-displacement reaction) a reaction
that involve two aqueous salts being added together to form ions and a solid salt
precipitate.
ACID-BASE EQUILIBRIA

Arrhenius acid acid yields H3O+ when added to water


Arrhenius base base yields OH- when added to water
Bronsted-Lowry acid (proton donor) a substance that donate a proton, H+ to a
base.
Bronsted-Lowry base (proton acceptor) a substance that accept a proton, H+ from
an acid.
Conjugate acid a species (molecule or ion) formed when a proton is added to a
base.
Conjugate base a species (molecule or ion) formed when a proton is removed from
an acid.

Lewis acid an electron-pair acceptor.


Lewis base an electron-pair donor.
Electrolyte (also electrolytic conductor) a chemical compound that will conduct
electricity in the molten state or in aqueous solution.
Strong acid an acid that is almost completely dissociated in aqueous solution.
(Stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base)
Weak acid an acid that is only partially dissociated in aqueous solution. (Weaker
the acid, the stronger its conjugate base)
