Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Relative Atomic Mass | ..is defined as the average mass, of the mass numbers, of the isotopes, of the element, as they occur naturally, taking into account their abundances and expressed on a scale in which the atoms of the carbon-12 isotope have a mass of exactly 12 units. |
| Radioactivity | ..is the spontaneous breaking up of certain unstable nuclei with the emission of one or more types of radiation. |
| Radioactive decay. | ..is the process of changing from one radioactive element to another. |
| Nuclear reaction | ..is the emission of radioactive radiation. |
| Transmutation | ..in the emission of alpha and beta radiation from unstable nuclei we've seen how one element may be changed from one element into another. |
| Half-life | The half life of an element is the time taken for half the nuclei in any given sample to decay. |
| Emission line spectrum | ..is the characteristic of that element and is different from that of any other element. |
| The Balmer Series | ..contains all of the lines in the visible region of the hydrogen spectrum. |
| Lyman series | all the lines in the UV region. |
| Paschen series | all the lines in the IR region. |
| Energy level | ..is the fixed energy value that an electron in an atom may have. |
| Ground state. | Lowest energy level. |
| Atomic Orbital | ..is a region of space where there is a high probability of finding an electron. |
| Exceptions to the EC rule | Chromium: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s1, 3d5 Copper: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s1, 3d10 |
