Question
Answer
nucleus   in physical science, an atoms central region, which is made up of protons and neutrons  
🗑
electron cloud   The region of negative charge surrounding an atomic nucleus that is associated with an atomic orbital.  
🗑
proton   a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of the atom;the number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number, which determines the identity of an element  
🗑
neutron   a subatomic particle that has no charge and that is located in the nucleus of the atom  
🗑
electron   a subatomic particle that has a negative charge  
🗑
atomic number   tells you how many protons are in an atom of the element  
🗑
average atomic mass   The average mass of atoms of an element, calculated using the relative abundance of isotopes in a naturally-occurring element. It is the weighted average of the masses of naturally-occurring isotopes  
🗑
mass number   the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
molar mass   The mass of one mole of a substance  
🗑
molecular mass   A number equal to the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms in a molecule. The molecular mass gives the mass of a molecule relative to that of the 12C atom, which is taken to have a mass of 12.  
🗑
isotope   an atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atomsof the same element do but that has a different number of neutrons (and thus a different atomic mass)  
🗑
ion   an atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or posotive charge  
🗑
cation   A cation is an ionic species with a positive charge.  
🗑
anion   An ionic species having a negative charge.  
🗑
mole   the SI base unitused to measure the amount of a subatance whose number of particles is the same a the number of atoms of carbon in exactly 12g of carbon-12  
🗑
avagadro's number   Avogadro's number is the number of particles found in one mole of a substance. It is the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. This experimentally determined value is approximately 6.022 x 1023 particles per mole.
