Atomic number
Total number of protons in an atom of an element
Mass number
Total number if protons and neutrons in an atom of an element
Isotope
An atom of an element with the same number if protons but different number of neutrons
Relative atomic mass
Average mass of an atom in comparison to 1 12th of an atom of carbon 12
Releative molecular mass
Average mass of 1 formula of that compound in comparison to 1 atom of carbon 12
Electronegativity
Power of an atoom to attract a pair of electrons inna covalent bond
Molecular formula
Actual number of atoms of each element in a compound
Empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
standard state
substance most stable state under standard conditions - h2o is liquid Na is a solid
standard enthalpy of a reaction :
enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in mo0lar quantities shown in a chemical equation under standard conditions with all reactants and products in their standard state .
standard enthalpy of formation :
the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound id formed from its elements under standard conditions with all the reactants and products in their standard state
enthalpy change :
change in energy under constant pressure
standard enthalpy of combustion :
the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions , with all reactants and products in their standard state .
