Chapter 3 - Atoms Flashcards
Mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical or physical reactions
Law of concentration of mass
A chemical compound contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or the source of the compound
Law of definite proportions
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
Atom
A short range Proton-Neutron, Proton-Proton, Or neutron-Neutron, Force that holds the nuclear particles together.
Nuclear forces
If two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, Then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a ratio of small whole numbers.
Law of Multiple proportions
Hey unit of mass that is exactly 1/12 the mass of a carbon 12 atom, Or 1.660 540×10 to the -27 power kg.
Atomic mass
The number of protons in the nucleus at each atom of an element
Atomic number
The weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.
Average atomic mass
6.0221367x10 To the 23rd power, The number of particles in exactly one Mole of a pure substance
Avogadro’s number
Atoms of the same element that have different masses
Isotopes
The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope.
Mass number
The mass of one mole of a pure substance.
Molar mass
The amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12
Mole
The general term for any isotope of any element, Another term for an atom that is identified by the number of protons and neutrons in it’s nucleus.
Nuclide
