High School Chemistry Final Exam
Absolute Zero - correct answer-The zero point on the kelvin scale (-273K)
Accepted Value - correct answer-A quantity used by the general scientific community
Accuracy - correct answer-Closeness to the true value of the measurement
Acid - correct answer-Compound that produces hydrogen ions in a solution
Acid dissociation constant - correct answer-An equilibrium expression used to measure
weak-acid strength, given by the ratio of the product of the products' molar
concentrations to the product of the reactants' molar concentrations, with each term
raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. K of A
Acidic Solution - correct answer-Any solution in which the hydrogen ion constant is
greater than the hydroxide ion constant
Activated Complex - correct answer-An activated complex is an intermediate state that
is formed during the conversion of reactants into products. An activated complex is the
structure that results at the maximum energy point along the reaction path. The
activation energy of a chemical reaction is the difference between the energy of the
activated complex and the energy of the reactants.
Activation energy - correct answer-The minimum energy colliding particles need to react
Active site - correct answer-A groove in an enzyme where the reactant of a reaction fits
and is converted into products
Activity series - correct answer-A list of elements in order of decreasing activity
Actual yield - correct answer-The amount of product that forms when a reaction is
carried out in a lab
Addition reaction - correct answer-A reaction in which a substance is added at the
double or triple bond of an alkene or and alkyne
ATP - correct answer-The molecule that transmits the energy of all living things
Alcohol - correct answer-An organic compound that has an OH (hydroxyl)
Alkali Metal - correct answer-Group 1A
, Alkaline earth metal - correct answer-Group 2A
Alkaline Solution - correct answer-Basic Solution
Alkane - correct answer-Hydrocarbon with only one covalent bond (saturated)
Alkyl group - correct answer-Hydrocarbon substituent, the methyl group is an alkyl
group
Alkyne - correct answer-A hydrocarbon containing triple bonds (unsaturated)
Allotrope - correct answer-One of two or more different molecular forms of an element in
the same physical state
Alloy - correct answer-A mixture composed of two or more elements, at least one is a
metal
Alpha particle - correct answer-A positively charged particle emitted from a radioactive
nuclei, identical to the nucleus of helium
Amorphous Solid - correct answer-Solid that lacks ordered structure, random
arrangement of atoms
Amphoteric - correct answer-Could be either and acid or a base
Amplitude - correct answer-Height of a wave's crest
Analytical chemistry - correct answer-The area of chemistry that focuses on composition
of matter
Anion - correct answer-Atom with a negative charge
Applied Chemistry - correct answer-Research that is directed towards a practical goal
Aqueous solution - correct answer-Water that contains a dissolved substance
Aromatic compound - correct answer-Contains a benzene ring
Atmospheric pressure - correct answer-Pressure exerted by atoms and molecules in the
atmosphere
Atom - correct answer-Smallest particle of an element the retains its identity
Atomic emission spectrum - correct answer-The pattern formed formed when light
passes through a prism, separating it into different frequencies of light
