atomic emission spectrum | The variety of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (light) seen through a spectroscope that are emitted by electrons as they transition from higher to lower energy levels; unique for each element. |
atomic radius | One half of the distance between the center of identical atoms that are not bonded together |
electromagnetic spectrum | All the frequency or web length of electromagnatic radition |
electronegativity | A measure of abality of am atom in chemical compound to attach electrons |
frequency | The number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time |
hyphen notation | A way of designing the isotopes of an element using its name (or symbol), a hyphen, and the mass number (example: uranium-238) |
ionic radius | A measure of the size of an ion of an element in a crystal |
ionization energy | The energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion |
isotope | An atom that has same number of protons or same atomic number |
planck's constant | a constant value that relates the energy of a photon of light to its frequency |
valence electron | An electron that is found in the outer must shell of an atom and that determinds the atom chemicals properties |
wavelength | The distance from any point on wave to an identify point on the wave to an identical point on the next wave |
