Definition of accuracy
The degree between the true value in the measured value
The definition of precision
A measure of the agreements of replicated measurements
Kilograms to milligrams
1 kg= 10^3 g
1 g= 10^3 mg
Conversion factor between Fahrenheit and Celsius
TF: 1.8x T° C +32
TC: T°F -32

Converting to kelvin
T°C + 273.15
Density
D= m/ v
What does the mass number of an element mean?
Proton and neutron
What does the atomic number represent?
The number of protons
What are isotopes?
Adam saw the same element with different masses
Calculating atomic mass of isotopes
Convert the percentage to a fraction (divide by 100).
Then multiply by the atomic mass (amu)
Then add both amu together
Classification of metals and nonmetals
Metals: Elements that tend to lose electrons
Nonmetals: elements that gain electrons
Sublevels
S, P, D, F
S: 2
P: 6
D: 10
F: 14
Cations and anions
Cations are metals that form positive charges
Anions are nonmetals that form negative charges
The size of atoms on the periodic table
The size decreases by going across
The size increases by going down the table
