Cards (19)

  • Atom
    The smallest part of an element.
  • State Symbol
    (l) for liquid, (g) for gas, (s) for solid and (aq) for a solution, used in symbol equations.
  • Atomic Mass

    Mass of an atom in grams
  • Mass Number

    Mass of the protons and neutrons in an atom, added together in grams.
  • Proton Number
    The number of protons in an atom, which is also the same number of electrons in an atom
  • Balanced Equation

    An equation where the number and type of atoms are the same for both the reactants and products
  • Molecular Formula
    A formula that shows the total number of the different kinds of atoms in a molecule
  • Conservation of Mass
    No atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction
  • Relative Formula Mass
    Sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms shown in a chemical formula.
  • Thermal Decomposition

    When a compound breaks down with heat
  • Moles
    The relative formula mass of a substance in grams
  • One mole of any substance always contains the same number of partiles.
  • One moles contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles. This is known as the Avogadro number.
  • Relative Atomic Mass
    Average mass of the atom
  • Relative Formula Mass
    The sum of the relative atomic masses of each atom in the formula
  • Total mass of elements = total mass of products
  • Atoms cannot be created in a chemical reation
  • Atoms cannot be destroyed in a chemical reaction
  • The relative formula mass is equal to the sum of the relative atomic masses of every atom in a formula
