| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| atomic radius | The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms |
| chemical family | Chemical Family means a group of elements in the Periodic Table or, more commonly, compounds |
| EM spectrum | The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation |
| electronegativity | Electronegativity, symbolized as χ, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons |
| frequency | Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also occasionally referred to as temporal frequency |
| ionic radius | onic radius, rᵢₒₙ, is the radius of a monatomic ion in an ionic crystal structure |
| lonization energy | In physics and chemistry, ionization energy or ionisation energy is the minimum amount of energy |
| isotopes | Isotopes are two or more types of atoms that have the same atomic number and position in the periodic table |
| plank's constant | The Planck constant, or Planck's constant, is a fundamental physical constant denoted h, and is of fundamental importance |
| valence | In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an electron in the outer shell associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond |
| wavelength | In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave |
| alkali metals | The alkali metals consist of the chemical elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and francium. |
| alkaline earth metals | he alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic table. They are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. |
| atom | An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. |
| atomic # | relating to an atom or atoms. |
| avg. atomic mass | The average atomic mass (sometimes called atomic weight) of an element is the weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of the element. |
| electrons | he electron is a subatomic particle, whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, |
| electron affinity | The electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is attached to a neutral atom |
| halognes | The halogens are a group in the periodic table consisting of five or six chemically related elements: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine (I), and astatine. The artificially created element 117, |
| mass # | Mass, in physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter. It is, in effect, the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force |
| neutrons | he neutron is a subatomic particle, symbol n or n⁰ , which has a neutral charge, and a mass slightly greater than that of a proton |
| noble gas | The noble gases make up a class of chemical elements with similar properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, |
| nucleus | The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, |
| oxidation # | Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Redox reactions are characterized by the actual or formal |
| photon | he photon is a type of elementary particle. It is the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio |
| proton | A proton is a subatomic particle, symbol p or p⁺ , with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge and a mass slightly less than that of a neutron |
| speed of light | The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant important in many areas of physics. |
| transition metals | n chemistry, the term transition metal has three possible definitions: The IUPAC definition defines a transition metal |
