    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
