Atomic number (Z)
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
3 of 24
Mass number (A)
The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

Electron Affinity
How easily the electrons are lost and gained

Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
A theory which explains the shapes of simple molecules by assuming that the pairs of electrons around a central atom repel each other, taking up positions as far away as possible from each other in space
