what is atomic number
atomic number is the number of protons in an atoms nucleus
what is mass number
protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus
isotopes
an atom of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in the nucleus
relative isotopic mass
the mass of an atom of an isotope of an element compared to 1/12th the mass of an atom of a carbon-12 isotope
relative atomic mass
the average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th the average mass of an atom of a carbon-12 isotope.
relative molecular mass
sum of relative atomic masses of all atoms in molecular formula
relative formula mass
sum of relative atomic masses of all atoms in its formula
ionisation energy
the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms, or ions from an element
electron shielding
effect of inner electrons which reduce nuclear pull on outer shell electrons
atomic orbital
A region in space around the nucleus of an atom in which there is a 95% chance of finding an electron
orbital sub divisions
s - 1 orbital, circle
p - 3 orbitals, dumbell
d - 5 orbitals
f - 7 orbitals
