#1

Front

Isotope

Back

Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They have identical chemical properties but different physical properties (e.g., density).

#2

Front

First Ionisation Energy

Back

The energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions. Equation: X(g) -> X+(g) + e-.

#3

Front

Electronegativity

Back

The power of an atom to attract the electron pair towards itself in a covalent bond. It increases across a period and decreases down a group.

#4

Front

Relative Atomic Mass (Ar)

Back

The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element relative to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. Calculated using isotope abundance.

#5

Front

The Mole

Back

The unit of amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 x 10^23 (Avogadro's constant) elementary entities (atoms, molecules, or ions).
