Term
Atomic Number (Z)
Definition
The number of protons in a nucleus. (Atomic Number = # of Protons)
Term
Mass Number (A)
Definition
Mass Number = # of Protons + # of Neutrons.
Term

Term
Halogens
Definition
The seventh group in the periodic table. Immediately in front of the noble gases.
Term
Alkali Metals
Definition
The first group in the periodic table.
Term
Alkaline Earth Metals
Definition
The second group in the periodic table.
Term
Noble Gases
Definition
The eighth group in the periodic table. Completely balanced and happy.
Term
Protons
Definition
Positively charged.
Term
Neutrons
Definition
Neutrally charged.
Term
Electrons
Definition
Negatively charged.
Term
Rutherford
Definition
Discovered the nucleus, using a foil experiment.
Term
Bohr
Definition
Created a model of the atom, where electrons travelled in orbits to keep from being sucked into the nucleus.
Term
Thomson
Definition
Discovered the electron and created the plum pudding model of the atom.
Term
Pauli
Definition
Created an exclusion principle that said only two electrons can occupy any one atomic orbital.
Term
Aufau
Definition
Created a principle that said electrons fill up in lowest energy.
Term
Hund
Definition
Created a rule that said the most stable arrangement of electrons in subshells is the one with the greatest number of parallel spins.
Term
Ionization Energy
Definition
The minimum energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom. Goes from bottom left to upper right.
Term
Atom Radius
Definition
Cations are smaller, anions are larger. Goes from upper right to bottom left.
Term
Electronegativity
Definition
Wants an electron the most.
Term
Metallic Character
Definition
Goes from right to left.
Term
Dalton's Atomic Theory
Definition
Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms.
Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.
Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.
Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds.
In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.
Term
Electron Affinity
Definition
The ease with which an atom gains an electron. Goes from bottom left to upper right.
Term
Atomic Radius
Definition
Gets smaller as you go to the right in periodic table, gets larger as you move down the groups.
Term
Ionic Radius
Definition
Going across a period, the ionic radius decreases for metals and increases for non-metal atoms. It increases going down a group.
