Atomic number
The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
Mass number
Are atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass number
Isotopes
The weighted average of the atomic masses of the isotopes based on their percentage abundance
Average atomic mass
Give the 4 quantum numbers
- Principal quantum number (n)
- Azimuthal/Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l)
- Magnetic Quantum Number (ml)
- Spin Quantum Number (ms)
Pertains to the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in a particular orbital. It has integral values 1, 2 etc.
Principal quantum number (n)
Tells the shape of the orbital. It has a value from to n-1
Azimuthal/Angular Momentum Quantum Number
Describe the orientation of orbitals in space. Its allowable values are -l to 0 +l
Magnetic Quantum Number
Shows the spin of electrons It’s values are +1/2 (clockwise) and -1/2(counter clockwise)
Spin Quantum Number
The orbitals of an atom must be filled up in increasing energy levels
Aufbau Principle
No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers and an atomic orbital must contain a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins
Pauli’s Exclusion Principle by Wolfgang Pauli
The most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells is the one with more parallel spins
Hund’s Rule of Multiplicity
German chemist, arranged the elements in triads like Li-Na-K, Ca-Sr-Ba, and Cl-Br-I

English chemist, arranged the elements in atomic mass and found out that every eight element has similar properties
John Ar Newlands
A Russian chemist and German chemist arranged the elements in the periodic table according to their recurring periodic properties
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and Julius Lothar Meyer
A young English physicist, discovered the relationship between the elements atomic number and the frequency of X-rays generated by bombarding the element with high energy electrons
Henry Gwyn-Jeffreys Mosely
The properties of the elements are functions of their atomic number
Modern periodic law
The average distance between the nucleus and the valence electrons
Atomic size (atomic radius)
The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom in it’s ground state.
Ionization Energy
The change in energy when an electron is accepted by a gaseous atom to form an anion
Electron Affinity
The measure of the ability of an atom to attract towards itself a bonding electron
Electronegativity
Results from the amount of the nucleus and the electron of two or more atoms and usually involves two non-metals
Covalent Bond
Results from the attraction of two opposite charged particles and involves a metal and non-metal
Ionic bond
Is the amount of energy involved in the formation and breaking of a bond
Bond energy
The distance between the nuclei of the atoms forming the bond
Bond length
Pertains to single bond, double bond, triple bond and those intermediate between single and double bonds.
Bond Order
The formation of a bond is due to the overlap of two atomic orbitals
Valence bond theory
A bond is formed when electrons in the bonding molecular orbital is greater than the electrons in the non-binding molecular orbital
Molecular Orbital Theory
Reaction of an Acid and a base forming salt and water
Neutralization Reaction
Reaction which results in the formation of an insoluble product
Precipitation Reaction
A system in equilibrium when subjected to a stress will act in such a way to relieve the stress.

A proton is transformed to a neutron is also known as
Positron
Branch of chemistry that deals with compounds of carbon
Organic Chemistry
Organic compounds originated from living materials, either plants or animals. Such materials posses vital force and compounds that are extremely difficult to synthesize in the laboratory
Vital Force Theory
He synthesize urea in the laboratory from the inorganic compound, ammonium cyanate
Friedrich Wohler

Urea
Atoms in an organic compound have fixed number of bonds. This combining ability is termed as
Valence
Carbon can form bonds with another carbon atom accounting for high percentage of carbon in most organic compounds. This ability of carbon is called
Catenation
Atoms are being held by electrical attraction between species of opposite charge
Dualism (Berzelius)
Atoms with high ionization energy tend to lose electrons easily while atoms with low electron affinity tend to gain electrons easily
