Enthalpy change of Formation

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions.

Bond dissociation enthalpy

The enthalpy change when all the bonds of the same type in one mole of gaseous molecules are broken.

Enthalpy change of atomisation of an element

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed from an element in its standard state.

First ionisation enthalpy

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 1+ ions is formed from one mole of gaseous atoms.

Second ionisation enthalpy

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 2+ ions is formed from one mole of gaseous 1+ ions.

First electron affinity

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 1- ions is formed from one mole of gaseous atoms.

Second electron affinity

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 2- ions is formed from one mole of gaseous 1- ions.

The enthalpy change of hydration

The enthalpy change when one mole of aqueous ions is formed from one mole of gaseous ions.

The enthalpy change of solution

The enthalpy change when one mole of solute is dissolved in sufficient solvent that no further enthalpy change occurs on further dilution.

Standard conditions

100 kPa


298 K

Pure ionic model

Ions are spherical and have charge evenly spread.


No covalent character.

Partial covalent bonding

The electrons in the negative ions are pulled towards the positive ion.

How to tell if purely ionic bonding or partial covalent bonding.

If there is a large difference in the experimental and theoretical values, partial covalent bonding.


If they are close, purely ionic.

What is the Enthalpy change of solution equal to?

Lattice dissociation enthalpy + Enthalpy of hydration (of each ion)

What is entropy?

Entropy is the measure of the number of ways that particles can be arranged.

How does changing state affect entropy?

Melting or boiling increases entropy, condensing or solidifying decreases entropy.

How does dissolving a solid affect entropy?

Causes an increase.

How does number of particles affect entropy?

More particles lead to an increased entropy.

Spontaneous reaction

A reaction that does not require any external energy to occur.

Free energy change

ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS


If ΔG > 0, reaction is not feasible.


If ΔG < 0, reaction is feasible.


(Remember to convert all units to J or kJ)
