Term
Definition
Le Chatelier's Principle   When stress (such as change in concentration, pressure, or temperature) is applied to an equilibrium, the reaction will shift in a way that relieves the stress and restores the equilibrium  
🗑

🗑
Lewis structure   A schematic representation of the valence of electrons in an atom or molecule  
🗑
Limiting reactant   The reactant that runs out first in a chemical reaction. It determines the amount of products made.

Molar mass   The mass of one mole of a given compound  
🗑
Molarity (M)   A concentration unit that tells how many moles of a substance are in a liter of solution (It is determined by taking the number of moles in a substance and dividing by the number of liter of solution)  
🗑
Mole   A group of atoms or molecules that number 6.02×〖10〗^23

🗑
Molecule   More than one atom bound together to form a compound  
🗑
Neutralization reaction   A reaction between an acid and base that neutralizes both, typically forming salt and water  
🗑
Neutron   One of the three particles that make up and atom (it is electrically neutral)  
🗑
Newton   The metric unit of force  
🗑
Nonmetal   An element that tends to take electrons from other elements  
🗑
Nucleus   The center of the atom that contains the neutrons and protons  
🗑
