Atomic Number | The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. |
Diffusion | Spontaneous spreading out of a substance due to the natural movement of its particles |
Element | A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substance by chemical means |
Mass Number | The number of protons and neutrons in an atom of element |
Pauli Exclusion Principle | No more than two electrons can occupy an orbital, and this they can only do if they have opposite spin. |
Relative Atomic Mass (Ar) | The mass of an atom of an element compared with one twelfth of the mass of the carbon-12 |
Relative Molecular Mass (Mr) | The mass of molecule of than substance compared with one twelfth of the mass of the carbon-12 isotope |
Sublevel | part of a main energy level consisting of one or more orbitals of the same energy. |

Ernest Rutherford | Discovered the nucleus in 1911 Discovered the proton in 1919 |
James Chadwick | Discovered the neutron in 1932 |
Emission Spectrum | Pattern of bright liner or bands seen when the electromagnetic radiation emitted by a substance is passed through a spectrometer |
Mass Spectometry | Technique dot the determine the masses of particles and structures of molecules |
Molecules | The smallest particle of a substance that sill retains the physical and chemical properties of than substance |
