14 terms
Isomorphism
States of Matter & Gas Laws
Dimensionless
The property of two or more different substances crystallising in the same structural form.
Indicator Range
Acids, Bases & Salts
Dimensionless
The span of pH over which an indicator's colour visibly changes, roughly one unit either side of its pKa.
pH = pK_In ± 1
Interstitial Void
States of Matter & Gas Laws
Dimensionless
An empty space between the packed spheres of a crystal lattice, capable of hosting a smaller ion or atom.
r_void / r_sphere = 0.225 or 0.414
Ionisation Isomerism
Inorganic & Coordination Chemistry
Dimensionless
Isomerism arising when an anion inside the coordination sphere exchanges places with the counter ion outside it.
Isoelectric Point
Biochemistry & Polymer Chemistry
Dimensionless
The pH at which a molecule carries no net electrical charge.
pI = (pKa₁ + pKa₂)/2
Instantaneous Rate
Chemical Kinetics & Catalysis
mol/(L·s)
The rate of a reaction at one particular moment, given by the gradient of the concentration–time curve at that point.
rate = d[A]/dt
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical Equilibrium
mol/L
An equilibrium involving ions in solution, such as the dissociation of weak electrolytes or the dissolution of sparingly soluble salts.
Ionic Product of Water
Acids, Bases & Salts
mol²/L²
The equilibrium constant for the self-ionisation of water, equal to the product of the hydrogen and hydroxide ion concentrations.
Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴
Ionising Radiation
Nuclear & Radiochemistry
eV
Radiation with enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, creating ions.
Ion–Dipole Interaction
Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
kJ/mol
The attraction between an ion and the oppositely charged end of a polar molecule.
E ∝ q μ / r²
Isobaric Process
Thermochemistry & Thermodynamics
J
A process carried out at constant pressure.
q_p = ΔH
IUPAC Nomenclature of Complexes
Inorganic & Coordination Chemistry
Dimensionless
The systematic rules for naming coordination compounds unambiguously.
ICE Table
Chemical Equilibrium
mol/L
A systematic tabulation of Initial, Change and Equilibrium amounts used to solve equilibrium problems.
Immiscible Liquids
Solutions & Colligative Properties
Dimensionless
Two liquids that do not dissolve in one another and separate into distinct layers.
