| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| subatomic particle, positive, mass = 1 amu | proton |
| subatomic particle, negative, mass = 0 amu | electron |
| subatomic particle, neutral, mass = 1 amu | neutron |
| electron shell configuration numbers | 2,8,8,18 |
| mass of reactants = mass of products | law of conservation of mass |
| same number of protons, different number of neutrons | isotopes |
| total number of protons and neutrons | mass number |
| number of protons | atomic number |
| radiation with two protons and two neutrons | alpha particle |
| radiation that is an electron with either a positive or negative charge | beta particle |
| radiation that is high energy electromagnetic radiation | gamma radiation |
| time it takes for half a radioactive substance to decay | half-life |
| chemical reaction that releases heat | exothermic |
| chemical reaction that absorbs heat | endothermic |
| substances that release H+ ions | acids |
| substances that release OH- ions | bases |
| acid + base = | produces salt + water |
| acid + metal = | produces salt + hydrogen |
| acid + carbonate = | produces salt + water + carbon dioxide |
| atom with a postive or negative charge | ion |
