oxidation This is the loss of electrons from a substance. It can also be described as an increase in oxidation number. oxidation number The formal charge assigned to each atom in a compound according to certain exclusion This states that an orbital holds a maximum of two principle electrons. quantitative A quantitative reaction is one in which the reaction reactants react completely according to ratios in the balanced stoichiometric equation. rate constant In a rate equation, k is the rate constant and has a constant value for a given reaction at a particular temperature rate determining The slowest step in a reaction mechanism that step governs the overall rate rate equation An equation that how the reaction rate depends on the concentration of each reactant reaction The series of simple steps by which a chemical mechanism reaction occurs reduction This is the gain of electrons by a substance. It can also be described as a decrease in oxidation number. Second Law of The entropy of a reaction system and its Thermodynamics surroundings always increases for a spontaneous change spectrochemical A list of ligands in order of the size of the crystal series field splitting caused in the d orbitals. stable A stable equilibrium state is one which is regained equilibrium after a small disturbance from this state occurs. standard Conditions at a pressure of one atmosphere and a conditions specific temperature (298 K)(25°C).
