A region within an atom that can hold up to two electrons with opposite spin.
Orbital
1 of 18
It has the same numerical value as the mole but has units g/mol.
Molar Mass
2 of 18
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Mass Number
3 of 18
...of an element is the energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form unipositive gaseous ions.
First Ionisation Energy
4 of 18
Atoms of the same element that have different masses. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes
5 of 18
It is the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12 which is taken as 12 exactly.
Relative Atomic Mass
6 of 18
This is the result of sharing a pair of electrons.
Covalent Bonding
7 of 18
It is the mass of an atom of an isotope of the element compared with 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12 which is taken as 12 exactly.
Relative Isotopic Mass
8 of 18
...of an ion is the energy required to remove the second electron from each unipositive gaseous ion in one mole of gaseous ions to form dipositive gaseous ions.
Second Ionisation Energy
9 of 18
The number of protons contained in an atom of an element.
Atomic Number
10 of 18
The number of particles in a mole. Its symbol is NA and is equals 6.023x20(23)
Avogadro's Constant
11 of 18
It is an amount of substance and contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12g of carbon-12
Mole
12 of 18
It is the ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond.
Electronegativity
13 of 18
It is the attraction of positive ions to delocalised electrons
Metallic Bonding
14 of 18
This is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Ionic Bonding
15 of 18
It is the weighted mean mass of a molecule of a compound compared with 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom which is taken as 12 exactly.
Relative Molecular Mass
16 of 18
It is the weighed mean mass of a formula unit of a compound compared with 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12 which is taken as 12 exactly.
Relative Formula Mass
17 of 18
It is the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of the same species in a chemical reaction.
Disproportionation
