Question	Answer
law of conservation of mass	the law that states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical and physical changes.
law of definite proportions	the law that states that a chemical compound always contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by weight or mass.
law of multiple proportions	the law that states that when an element combines to form two or more compounds, the mass of the element that combines with a given mass of the other is in the ratio of small whole numbers.
atom	the smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical properties of that element.
nuclear forces	the interaction that binds protons and neutrons, protons and protons, and neutrons and neutrons together in a nucleus.
atomic number	the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
average atomic mass	the weighted average of the mass of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element.
mass number	the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
electromagnetic spectrum	all of the frequencies or wavelenghts of electromagnetic radiation.
excited state	a state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state.
frequency	the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time; also the number of waves produced in a given second of time.
ground state	the lowest energy state of a quantizied system.
wavelength	the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave.
angular momentum quantum number	the quantum number that indicates the shape of an orbital
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle	the principle that states that determining both the position and velocity of an electron or any other particle simultaneously is impossible.
magnetic quantum number	the quantum number that corresponds to the alingment of the angular momentum component with a magnetic field.
orbital	a region in an atom where there is high probability of finding electrons.
principal quantum number	the quantum number that indicates the energy and orbital of an electron in an atom.
quantum numbers	a number that specifies the properties of electrons.
quantum theory	the study of the structure and behavior of the atom and of subatomic particles from the view that all energy comes in tiny indivisible bundles.
spin quantum numbers	the quantum number that describes the intrinsic angular movement of a particle.
Aufbau principle	the principle that states that the structure of each successive element is obtained by adding one proton to the nucleus of the atom and one electron to the lowest-energy orbital that is available.
electron configuration	the arrangement of electrons in an atom.
Hund's rule	the rule that states that for an atom in the ground state, the number of unpaired electorns is the maximum possible and those unpaired electrons have the same spin.
noble gases	one of the elements of group 18 of the periodic table; are unreactive.
Pauli exclusion principle	the principle that states that two particles of a certain class cannot be in exactly the same energy state.
highest occupied level	the electron-containing main energy level with the highest principal quantum number.
inner-shell electrons	electrons that are not in the highest-occupied energy level.
noble-gas configuration	an outer main energy level fully occupied, in most cases, by eight electrons.
