| Ionization Energy | the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion |
| Electronegativity | the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons |
| Electromagnetic Spectrum | all of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation |
| Avogadro's Number | 6.02x10^23 the number of atoms or molecules in 1 mole |
