Term | Definition |
---|---|
protons | particles of an atom that are within the nucleus of an atom and have a charge of plus one and mass of 1 atomic mass unit |
electrons | particles of an atom that are outside of the nucleus of an atom and have a charge of minus one and negligible mass |
periodic table of the elements | a visual representation of the chemical elements, ordered by atomic number, electron configuration, and chemical properties |
atomic mass unit (amu) | the mass of a proton or a neutron |
neutrons | particles of an atom that are within the nucleus of an atom and have a zero charge and mass of 1 atomic mass unit |
element | the identity of an atom such as hydrogen carbon, or iron |
ion | an atom or molecule that has a + or - charge |
deuterium | a hydrogen atom with 1 proton and 1 neutron |
isotopes | atoms that have the same number of protons (same elements) but different numbers of neutrons (different masses) |
atomic number | number of protons in an atom that establishes the identity of an element |
molecular mass | the mass of a mole of particular molecules (such as the mass of a mole of water molecules is 18 grams/mole) |
tritium | Hydrogen atom with 1 proton and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 3 amu |
molar solution | contains 1 mole of solute in 1 liter of the solution |
