Chapter 1 Summary Notes
Main Concepts
 Elements: substances that cannot
be decomposed into simpler
substances
 Compounds: substances composed
of two or more elements
 Law of Constant
Composition or law of
definite proportions: the
relative masses of elements
are fixed in a given
chemical substance.
 Law of Multiple
Proportions: Applies
ONLY when two elements
combine to form two or
more compounds. The
masses of one element
which combine with a
fixed mass of the second
element are in a ratio of
whole numbers
 Mixtures: combinations of two or
more substances
 Techniques for separating
mixtures: filtration,
distillation,
chromatography
 Properties:
 Physical vs. chemical: Did
the sample (really) change?
 Intensive vs. extensive:
Does the measurement
depend on quantity of
sample?
Explanations
-Law of Constant Composition: Ex. In pure H2O, H and O
combine in a 1:8 mass ratio. Does law of constant composition
hold good for CuSO4.5H2O? Why or why not?
-Law of Multiple Proportions: Explain the following in terms of
multiple proportions:
-Separation Techniques:
Hand Separation- for mixtures that can be visually differentiated
based on mass, color, shape etc.
Filtration: Fitrate, precipitate, heterogeneous mixtures
Separating Funnel: For immiscible liquids, layers separate
with lesser density layer on top.
Centrifugation: Separates particles of different masses based
on centrifugal force. Heavier particles at the bottom and the
lighter particles on top.
Distillation- uses differences in the boiling points to separate a
homogeneous mixture.
Chromatography-separates homogenous mixtures (mostly inks)
based on the differences in solubility of the mixture in a
solvent. There is a stationary and a mobile phase

Chapter 2 Summary Notes
Main Concepts
Naming Compounds Review: Before
naming a compound, it is important to
know its type because naming depends
upon the type. For naming purposes, we
classify compounds as ionic compounds,
molecular compounds, and acids.
 Ionic Compounds can be identified
by the presence of a metal in it.
(generally solids) Ex. NaCl, K2SO4,
PbSO4
 Molecular compounds are made up
of all non metals. (generally liquids
and gases) Ex. H2O, N2O5
 Acids begin with H (generally present
as aq solutions or gases) Ex. HCl,
H2SO4, HClO3
Coordination compound: compound that
contains a complex ion or ions.
Ex. [Cu(NH3)4]Cl2
1. Name cation before anion; one or
both may be a complex. (Follow
standard nomenclature for noncomplexes.)
2. Within each complex (neutral or ion),
name all ligands before the metal.
-Name ligands in alphabetical order
-If more than one of the same ligand is
present, use a numerical prefix: di, tri,
tetra, penta, hexa, …
-Ignore numerical prefixes when
alphabetizing.
 In any (uncharged) atom: The #f
protons= atomic number (Z)
# of e= # of p
Mass # (A)= atomic #- # of neutrons
Atomic Symbol: 6C12
 Isotopes are atoms of the same
element containing different numbers
of neutrons and therefore having
different masses.
Explanations

Chapter 3 Summary Notes
Main Concepts
 Atomic mass units:
1 amu = 1.66054 x 10-24 g
or 1 g = 6.02214 x 1023 amu
1 atom of 12C isotope defined as weighing exactly 12 amu
Explanations
Ex. 12C: 98.892% x 12 amu =11.867
13
C: 1.108% x 13.00335 amu =+ 0.1441
AW = 12.011 amu
Therefore 12.011 g C = 1 mol C

Percent Composition

Moles: Avogadro’s Number = 6.022 x 1023 = atoms in exactly
12.000 g of 12C = 1 mol
-Moles important because they can be used for ratios. Mass
cannot be used for ratios. Converting: grams → moles →
molecules

Determining Empirical Formula
Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the
problem.
-If percentages are given, assume that the total mass is 100
grams so that the mass of each element = the percent given.
-Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar
mass
-Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles
calculated.
-Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of
the elements and is represented by subscripts in the empirical
formula.
-If the number is too far to round (x.1 ~ x.9), then multiply
each solution by the same factor to get the lowest whole
number multiple. If one solution is 1.5, then multiply each
solution in the problem by 2 to get 3.If one solution is 1.25,
then multiply each solution in the problem by 4 to get 5.

Main Concepts
 EF from Combustion Data: To find out the EF of a
compound, the compound is burned in the air. The
equation for combustion of these compounds is all
follows.
For Hydrocarbons: CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O
For Compounds Containing CHN:
CxHyNz+ O2 CO2 + H2O+ NO2
For Compounds containing C, H and O
CxHyOz + O2 CO2 + H2O
Explanations
Ex. A 0.6349 g sample of the unknown
produced 1.603 g of CO2 and 0.2810 g of H2O.
Determine the empirical formula of the
compound. Ans. C7H6O2
Ex. When carbon-containing compounds are burned
in a limited amount of air, some CO(g) is produced
as well as CO2 (g). A gaseous product mixture is
35.0 mass % CO and 65.0 mass % CO2. What is the
mass % C in the mixture? 32.7% C
Ex. If 6.0 g hydrogen gas reacts with 40.0 g oxygen
gas, what mass of water will be produced?
OR
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 H2O (g)

Ex. A mixture of morphine (C17H19NO3) and an inert
solid is analyzed by combustion with O2. The
unbalanced equation for the reaction of morphine
with O2 is
C17H19NO3 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + NO2
The inert solid does not react with O2. If 4.000 g of
the mixture yields 8.72 g of CO2, calculate the
percent morphine by mass in the mixture. 83.1%
Limiting Reactant: The reactant that runs out first. LR can be
determined by comparing the mole ratios of the reactants. LR
determines the amount of the products formed.

% Yield 
Ex. If in the previous example, only 40.0 g
water were formed, what is the percent yield and
percent error?


Determining the Formula of a Hydrate: To determine the
formula of a hydrate, a certain mass of hydrate is heated to
drive off the water. Then the mass of water driven-off is
calculated. Now the mole ratio of water to the compound
is calculated.
Accepted value

Chapter 4 Summary Notes
Main Concepts
Explanations
Reactions: To be able to successfully write reactions, you will need to know the Synthesis Reactions:
following: Solubility Rules , Nomenclature Types of Reactions (explained later in
this worksheet), How to write net ionic equations MUST KNOW For AP
Chemistry reaction prediction:
1. Always write balanced net ionic equations (meaning dissociate soluble
compounds (based on solubility rules),
2. Metal are insoluble and are atomic, written as (s) in these equations. Ex. Mg(s)
3. Molecular compounds such as gases (CO2, H2S Etc.) are written as (g) and will
not dissociate into ions.
4. Water is written as (l) and does not dissociate.
5. Ionic compounds may or may not dissociate depending on solubility rules. Ex.
PbSO4 insoluble and NaNO3 soluble.
6. Even a soluble ionic compound may NOT dissociate if it is in solid form
(meaning no water present to actually dissociate the ions.)
7. Weak acids and bases partly dissociate or ionize and are written with a
reversible arrow.
8. Remember PSHOFBrINCl. Phosphorus occurs as P4, Sulfer as S8 and rest as
diatomic.
9. While we are reviewing, remember the difference between Zn and Zn2+ and Cl2
and 2 Cl10. Strong acids (HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2 SO4 (first dissociation only!), HClO4 and
HClO3) and strong bases (Group 1 alkali metal hydroxide and Ca, Ba, Sr
hydroxides from group 2) dissociate in aq. Solutions. Weak acids and bases are
not dissociated in net ionic equations.
Solubility Rules Always soluble: alkalies, NH +, NO -, C H O 4

Types of Reactions: Double displacement. Precipitation, neutralization, gas forming.
H2CO3 in water = H2O & CO2
Single displacement or redox replacement: (metals displace metals and nonmetals displace
nonmetals)
Combination or synthesis = two reactants result in a single product
• Metal oxide + water  metallic hydroxide (base)
• Nonmetal oxide + water  nonbinary acid
• Metal oxide + nonmetal oxide  salt
Decomposition = one reactant becomes several products
• Metallic hydroxide  metal oxide + water
• Acid nonmetal oxide + water
• Salt  metal oxide + nonmetal oxide
• Metallic chlorates  metallic chlorides + oxygen
• Electrolysis decompose compound into elements (water in dilute acids or solutions of
dilute acids)
• Hydrogen peroxide  water + oxygen
• Metallic carbonates --> metal oxides + carbon dioxide
• Ammonium carbonate  ammonia, water and carbon dioxide.
Hydrolysis = compound reacting with water.
• Watch for soluble salts that contain anions of weak acid the anion is a conjugate base and
cations of weak bases that are conjugate acids.

Chapter 5 Summary Notes
• Complex formation by adding excess source of ligand to transitional metal of highly
charged metal ion such
as Al3+ Al =4 ligands others 2X ox #
• Breakup of complex by adding an acid  metal ion and the species formed when
hydrogen from the acid
reacts with the ligand
Redox = change in oxidation state= a reaction between an oxidizer and a reducer.
1. Familiarization with important oxidizers and reducers
2. “added acid” or “acidified”
3. an oxidizer reacts with a reducer of the same element to produce the element at
intermediate oxidation state
Molarity (M) = moles solute

Titration is a method to determine the molarity of unknown acid or base. In
titration, an acid or base of unknown molarity is titrated against a standard solution
(whose M is known) of acid or base.The end point in a titration is indicated by a
color change by the indicator. Indicators are weak acids or bases and are added in
small quantity (1-3 drops) to indicate the end point. At equivalence point (which
should be close to end point),
moles of H+= moles of OHM1V1= M2 V2 (sometimes used to get moles , M= moles/L , so moles= M XV)
-What other ways can you get the moles- for a solid acid or base? For a gas?
Electrolyte: substance which, in aqueous solution, ionizes and thus conducts
electricity. Ex: salt in water.
Non-electrolyte: substance which, in aqueous solution, does not dissociate and thus
does not conduct electricity
Strong & weak electrolytes: conductivity depends on degree of dissociation and
equilibrium position:
HA (aq) ↔ H+ (aq) + A- (aq)
Strong = nearly completely dissociated
Weak = partially dissociated
Molecular equation: shows complete chemical equation with states of matter,
undissociated
BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) → 2 NaCl (aq) + BaSO4 (s)
Complete ionic equation: shows complete chemical equation with states of matter,
dissociated if appropriate
Ba2+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + 2 Na+(aq) + SO42-(aq) →
2 Cl-(aq) + 2 Na+(aq) + BaSO4 (s)Spectator ions:
present in reaction but do not “participate”; depend on solubility rules
Cl- (aq) and Na+ (aq)
3. Net ionic equation: shows chemical equation without spectator ions
Ba2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) → BaSO4 (s)

Main Concepts
 Enthalpy, H: change in heat content of a reaction at
constant P
o H = E + PV  ΔH = ΔE + PΔV  ΔH = (qp+w) +
(-w)  ΔH = qp
 qp = heat content

heat needed to form substance
from its elements
o Standard Enthalpy of
Formation, ΔHfo: forms
1 mole of compound
from its elements in their
standard state (at 298K)
o ΔHf of pure element (C,
O2, H2, etc) is 0.


Bond Enthalpy: Amount of energy required to break a
particular bond between two elements in gaseous state

Pauli Exclusion Principle: no two charges in an atom
can have the same set of four quantum numbers n, l, m1,
ms.
Effective Nuclear Charge: the net positive charge acting
on the outermost electron.
Shielding Effect: inner electrons shielding the outer
electron from the full charge of the nucleus.
Electron Configuration: the way the electrons are
distributed among the various orbitals of an atom.
 The most stable, or ground, electron configuration is
one in which the electrons are in the lowest possible
energy states.
Hund’s Rule: for degenerate orbitals (orbitals with the
same energy), the lowest energy is attained when the
number of electrons with the same spin is maximized.
The periodic table is your best guide to the order in
which orbitals are filled.
 s-block and p-block contain the representative (main
group) elements.
 The ten columns in the middle that contain transition
metals, elements in which d-orbitals are being filled.
 f-block metals are the ones in which the f-orbitals are
being filled.
Diamagnetic: paired electrons
Paramagnetic: unpaired electrons
Mass Spectroscopy: Helps identify # and abundance of
isotopes and structures of different compounds. Chlorine
has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl, in the approximate ratio
of 3 atoms of 35Cl to 1 atom of 37Cl. You might suppose
that the mass spectrum would look like this but that is
not the case because Chlorine consists molecules that

Photoemission Spectroscopy (PES)
In a photoelectron spectroscopy experiment any electron can
be ionized when the atom is excited. Unlike the first
ionization, in this experiment any electron can be removed,
not just the electron that requires the least amount of energy.
PES gives insight into the structure of atom. Each peak in PES
indicates the number of electrons and the position of the peak
indicates the amount of energy required to remove those
electrons. Note that s electrons will require more energy than
p electrons due to higher ENC hence s electrons will be farther
out on the energy axis.

Alkali metals (1A)—The most reactive metal
family, these must be stored under oil
because they react violently with water!
They dissolve and create an alkaline, or
basic, solution, hence their name.
Alkaline earth metals (2A)—These also are
reactive metals, but they don’t explode in
water; pastes of these are used in batteries.
Halogens (7A)—Known as the “salt
formers,” they are used in modern lighting
and always exist as diatomic molecules in
their elemental form.
Noble gases (8A)—Known for their
extremely slow reactivity, these were once
thought to never react; neon, one of the
noble gases, is used to make bright signs.

Chapter 8 Summary Notes
Main Concepts
 Intramolecular Bonding
o Ionic: electrostatic attrction between oppositely charged
ions. Generally solids. Ex: NaCl, K2SO4
o Covalent: sharing of e- between two atoms (typically
nonmetals). Generally gases/liquids. Ex: CO2, SO2
o Metallic: “sea of e-”; bonding e- relatively free to move
throughout 3D structure. Generally solid. Ex: Fe, Al
o Covalent Network: large number of atoms/molecules
bonded in network through covalent bonding. Ex: SiO2,
Si, Ge, Diamond, Graphite
 Ionic Bonding
o Results as atoms lose or gain electrons to achieve a
nobel gas electron configuration. Typically exothermic.
 Bonded state lower in energy (more stable)
 Opposite charges create electrostatic attraction,
which determines the strength of the ionic bond
o Occurs when difference in electronegativy is > 1.7
o Use brackets when writing Lewis symbols of ions.
 Lattice Energy: Measurement of the strength of the ionic bond
o Hlattice = energy required to completely separate 1
mole of solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions
o Electrostatic attraction (and thus lattice energy)
increases as ionic charges increase and as ionic radii
decrease.
DH lattice µ

Q+Qr+ + r-
Covalent Bonding: Atoms share electrons to achieve noble gas
configuration that is lower in energy (therefore more stable)
o Occurs when difference of electronegativity is ≤ 1.7
 Polar covalent: 0.3 < diff in EN ≤ 1.7
 Nonpolar covalent: 0 ≤ diff in EN ≤ 0.3
 Coordinate covalent: shared pair contributed by
only one of the two sharing species. Ex: Lewis
acids and bases
Explanations
Ex. Draw the Lewis symbol for fluoride.
Ex. In the following pairs, which has a
greater lattice energy and why?
NaCl or KCl
NaCl or MgS
Covalent bond strength is measured by
bond energy. Bond energy is calculated by
= Energy of reactant bonds- Energy of
product bonds

Metallic Bonding: Forms between metal atoms because of
the movement of valence electrons from atom to atom to
atom in a “sea of electrons”. The metal consists of cations
held together by negatively charged electron “glue”.
o Results in excellent thermal and electrical
conductivity, ductility, and malleability
o A combination of 2 metals is called an alloy
The Octet Rule: Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share
electrons until they are surrounded by 8 electrons in their
outermost energy level (filled s&p shells), and are thus
energetically stable
Lewis symbols (electron-dot symbol)
o Shows a dot for valence electrons of an atom/ion
o Places dots at top, bottom, right, and left sides and
in pairs only when necessary (Hund’s rule).
o Primarily used for representative elements only
(Groups 1A – 8A)
o Transition metals typically form +1, +2, & +3 ions
 Transition metal atoms first lose both “s”
electrons, even though it is a higher energy
subshell. Ex. Cr2+, Cr3+
 Most lose electrons to end up with a filled
or half-filled subshell. Ex. Cu+ ion
Lewis structures: used to depict bonding pairs and lone
Ex. Draw the Lewis structures for the following
pairs of electrons in the molecule
1. Total the # of valence electrons in the system. Add using steps. Show work!
a) Cl2
the total negative charge if you have an ion,
b) CH2Cl2
subtract the charge if you have a cation.
c) NH3
2. Number the electrons if each atom is to be “happy”
d) NaCl
(8 electrons for octet rule, or 2 for hydrogen)
e) HCN(SO4)
3. Calculate the number of bonds in the system.
f) H2O2CNS
Covalent bonds are made by the sharing of
electrons. # of bonds = (electrons in step 2 –
electrons in step 1) / 2
4. Draw the structure. The central atom is usually the
atom with the least electronegativity.
5. Double check your answer by counting total
number of electrons

Exceptions to the Octet Rule
o Odd-electron molecules. Ex. NO or NO2
o Incomplete octet. Ex. H2, He, BeF2, BF3
o Expanded octet (occurs in molecules when the
central atom is beyond the third period. The empty
3d subshell is used in hybridization). Ex. PCl5, SF6
Formal Charge: the numerical difference between # of
valence electrons in the isolated atom and # of electrons
assigned to that atom in the Lewis structure. Doesn’t
represent real charges, just a useful tool for selecting most
stable Lewis structure
1. Assign unshared electrons (usually in pairs) to the
atom on which they are found
2. Assign one electron from each bonding pair to each
atom in the bond (split the electrons in a bond)
3. Subtract the electrons assigned from the original
number of valence electrons
o Used to select the most stable (and therefore most
likely) structure when more than one structure is
reasonable according to rules
o Most stable:
 Has FC on all atoms closest to zero
 Has all negative FC on most EN atoms
Resonance Structures: Equivalent Lewis structures that
describe a molecule with more than one likely
arrangement of electrons
o Notation: use double-headed arrow between all
resonance structures
o “Real” electron structure of the molecule is an
“average” of all resonance structures
Bond Order: Indication of bond strength and bond length
Bond Enthalpy: Amount of energy required to break a
particular bond between two elements in gaseous state.
Indicates “strength” of a bond.
Hrxn ≈  (Hbonds broken) -  (Hbonds formed)

Chapter 9 Summary Notes
Main Concepts
 Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory:
helps construct molecular 3-D shape from 2-D
Lewis Structures


Electron Domains: areas of valence electron
density around the central atom

Includes bonding electron pairs and lone
electron pairs

A single, double, or triple bond counts as one
domain
Basis for VSEPR: each group of valence electrons
(electron domains) around a central atom tend to be
as far as possible from each other to minimize
repulsion and this determines molecular geometry
of molecule


lonepair-lonepair repulsion > lonepair-bondpair
repulsion > bondpair-bondpair repulsion
Molecular Dipole Moment: molecules with polar
covalent bonds might have a net dipole moment
depending on the compound's 3-D geometry and
symmetry

Check if individual bonds are polar and if
individual dipole moments cancel out due to
symmetry

Polarity: polar substances are soluble in water and
non-polar substances are soluble in non-polar
solvents like benzene and oil

Valence Bond Theory: predicts bond strengths
based upon orbital overlap for covalent bond
formation

Basis for VB: covalent bond forms when orbitals of
two atoms overlap

An orbital can have a max of two electrons with
opposing signs

The bond strength depends on the attraction of
nuclei for the shared electron, so greater the


Hybrid Orbital Theory: an extension of VB theory, where
atomic orbitals "hybridize" to form new hybrid orbitals;
explains the bonding in terms of quantum mechanical
model of atom (s, p, d, f orbitals)

Basis for HO: valence atomic orbitals in the molecule are
very different from those in isolated atoms



The number of hybrid orbitals obtained equals the
number of atomic orbitals mixed
 The type of hybrid orbitals obtained varies with types
of atomic orbitals mixed
 ns and np give two sp hybrids
 ns and two np give three sp2 hybrid orbitals
 ns and three np give four sp3 hybrid orbitals
Delocalized Bonds are present in compounds with
resonance structures
Molecular Orbital Theory: is based on the wave nature of
the electrons and is a better model to explain
paramagnetism of oxygen
Basis for MO: Molecular orbitals form through the
combination of atomic orbitals





Bonding MO: stable orbital that forms between nuclei
Antibonding MO: less stable orbital that forms behind
nuclei
 Sigma MO: orbital forming from a combination of
two 1s or 2s orbitals form different atoms or two 2pz
orbitals from different atoms
 Pi MO: orbital forming from a combination of two 2px
or 2py from different atoms (do not appear until B2)
Diamagnetism: all electrons paired; no magnetic
properties
Paramagnetic: at least 1 unpaired electron; drawn into
exterior magnetic field since spins of atoms become
aligned; unlikely to retain alignment when field is
removed
Ferromagnetism: occurs primarily in Fe, Co, and Ni;
drawn into exterior magnetic field since spins of atoms
become aligned; likely to retain alignment when field is
removed

Concepts
 INTRAmolecular Forces: the forces holding
atoms together to form moleculs
 INTERmolecular Forces: Forces between
molecules between ions, or between molecules
and ions
Intermolecular Forces (IMF)
-IMF < intramolecular forces (covalent,
metallic, ionic bonds)
-IMF strength: solids>liquids>gases
-Types of IMFs Ion-Ion Forces, Ion-Dipole
Forces, Dipole-Dipole Forces, H-bonds
extreme dipole-dipole, LDFs
Types of IMF
 Electrostatic Forces: act over larger distances
in accordance with Coulomb’s Law
 Ion-Dipole: between an ion and a dipole (a
neutral, polar molecule has separate partial
Boiling points and melting points are good indicators of relative
charges)
IMF strength
-Increasing with increasing polarity of
molecule and increasing ion charge
 Ion-Permanent Dipole
-Water is highly polar and can interact with
positive ions to give hydrated ions in water
QQ
-Attraction between ions and dipole depends
F  2
d
on ion charge and ion-dipole distance
 Dipole-Dipole
-Weakest electrostatic force (not all IMFs,
LDFs weaker than dipole-dipole); exist
between neutral polar molecules
-Increase with increasing polarity (dipole
moment) of molecule
 Hydrogen Bonds (H-bonds)
-H is unique among elements because it has a
single e- that is also a valence e-When e- is “hogged” by a highly
electronegative atom (very polar covalent
bond), the H nucleus is partially exposed and
becomes attracted to e- rich atom nearby
-Explains why ice floats on water, has latticelike structure, explains why molecules with Hbonds have higher boiling points, H-bonding
in water, O -H bond is very polar
 H-bonding in biology
-DNA bases bind to each other due to specific
hydrogen bonding between Lewis Bases

Inductive Forces arise from induced distortion of
e- cloud
 London Dispersion: between polar or
nonpolar molecules or atoms, but is generally
mentioned for non polar molecules when other
forces are absent. Very weak, motion of ecreates an instantaneous dipole moment which
induces a dipole in an adjacent atom
 Nonpolar molecules can dissolve in water due
to LDFs. Water induces a dipole in electron
cloud. Solubility increases with mass of gas
due to greater distortion.
 When induced forces between molecules are
very weak, the solid will sublime (solid to gas)
Liquids
 Molecules are in constant motion, molecules
close together
 Liquids are almost incompressible
Evaporation
-To evaporate, molecules must have sufficient
energy to break IMFs
-Condensation is reverse (remove energy and
make IM bonds)
 Vapor Pressure
 Heat of Vaporization heat required (at
constant P) to vaporize the liquid
 Equilibrium vapor pressure & the
Clausius-Clapeyron Equation
o Used to find ∆vapH˚
o Logarithm of vapor pressure P is
proportional to ∆vapH˚ and to 1/T
o lnP = -(∆vapH˚/RT) + C
o Surface Tension leads to spherical
liquid droplets
 Properties resulting from IMFs
 Viscosity: resistance of a liquid to flow
 Surface Tension: energy required to increase
the surface area of a liquid
 Intermolecular forces lead to capillary action
and concave meniscus for a water column
-Capillary Action: movement of water up a

speed of a reaction
Reaction rate is affected by:
1. Concentration of reactants
2. Temperature of the reaction
3. Presence/absence of a catalyst
4. Surface area of solid or liquid
reactants and/or catalysts
-Average Rate: Rate of a reaction over a
given period of time
-Instantaneous Rate: Rate of reaction at
ONE given point of time.
-Initial Rate: Rate of reaction at t=0. (its
instantaneous rate at t=0)
Reaction order: the exponents in a rate
law (can be fractions)
Rate law: shows how the rate of reaction
depends on the concentration of
reactant(s); determined experimentally.
Cannot be determined by the coefficients
of a balanced reaction (unless in an
