||||
| Average Atomic Mass | the weighted average of the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element
🗑
|
||||
| Chemical Bond | an interaction that holds atoms or ions together
🗑
|
||||
| Chemical Equation | a representation of a chemical reaction that uses symbols to show the relationship between the reactants and products
🗑
|
||||
| Chemical Formula | a combination of chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance
🗑
|
||||
| Chemical Reaction | the process in which atoms are rearranged and chemical bonds are broken and formed to produce a chemical change of an substance
🗑
|
||||
| Chemical Symbol | a one-, two- or three letter abbreviation of the name of an element
🗑
|
||||
| Electron Cloud | a region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found
🗑
|
||||
| Electron | a subatomic particle that has a negative charge
🗑
|
||||
| Endothermic Reaction | a chemical reaction that requires energy input, usually as heat
🗑
|
||||
| Exothermic Reaction | a chemical reaction in which energy is released to the surroundings, usually as heat
🗑
|
||||
| Group | a vertical column of elements in the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties
🗑
|
||||
| Law of Conservation of Energy | the law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
🗑
|
||||
| Law of Conservation of Mass | the law that states the mass cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical and physical changes
🗑
|
||||
| Mass Number | the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
🗑
|
||||
| Metal | an element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well
🗑
|
||||
| Metalloid | an element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals
🗑
|
||||

| Period | in chemistry, a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table
🗑
|
||||
| Periodic Table | an arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers such that elements with similar properties fall in the same column, or group
🗑
|
||||
| Product | a substance that forms in a chemical reaction
🗑
|
||||
| Proton | a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom; the number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number, which identifies the identity of an element
🗑
|
||||
| Reactant | a substance that participates in a chemical reaction
🗑
|
||||
| Valence Electron | an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atom's chemical properties
🗑
