| Periodic law | when the elements are arranged in order of increasing relative mass, certain sets of properties recur periodically |
| Atomic number | the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom |
| Chemical symbol | a one- or two-letter abbreviation for the element that appears directly below its atomic number on the periodic table that each element is represented by |
| Metals | occupy the left side of the periodic table and have similar properties |
| Nonmetals | occupy the upper right side of the periodic table and have varied properties |
| Metalloids | most of the elements that lie along the zigzag diagonal line dividing metals and nonmetals, also called semimetals |
| Ions | charged particles |
| Cations | positively charged ions |
| Anions | negatively charged ions |
| Pure substances | may be elements or compounds |
| Elements | may be atomic or molecular |
| Compounds | may be molecular or ionic |
| Atomic elements | those that exist in nature with single atoms as their basic units |
| Molecular elements | exist as diatomic molecules- 2 atoms of that element bonded together- as their basic units |
| Molecular compounds | compounds formed from 2 or more nonmetals |
| Ionic compounds | contain 1 or more cations paired with 1 or more anions |
| For most conversion problems | given unit * desired unit/given unit = desired unit information given * conversion factor(s) = information sought |
| Multi-step unit conversion problems | add more steps, each having a conversion factor from the previous step in the denominator and the units of the following step in the numerator |
| International System of units (SI units) | a set of standard units agreed on by scientists throughout the world |
| Length | meter (m) |
| Mass | kilogram (kg) |
| Time | second (s) |
| Temperature | kelvin (K) |
| Prefix multipliers | change the value of a unit by powers of 10 |
| Units of energy | joule, calorie, Calorie, and kilowatt-hour |
| Isotopes | atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons |
| Percent natural abundance | percentage of isotopes that all elements have |
