Atomic Number

the number of protons. gives atoms their identity.

New cards
44

Atomic Mass Number

protons + neutrons. number explicitly shown on isotopes.

New cards
45

Atomic Weight

found by multiplying the abundance of an isotope of an element by the atomic mass of the element and then adding the results together. EX: Carbon-12: 0.9889 x 12.0000 = 11.8668; Carbon-13: 0.0111 x 13.0034 = 0.1443.

Molecule

The smallest particle of a substance that has all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance

New cards
52

Empirical Formula

the chemical formula of a compound that gives the proportions (ratios) of the elements present in the compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of atoms.

New cards
53

Molecular Formula
