|
Pauli Exclusion principle
|
It states that no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.
|
|
Subatomic particles
|
Subatomic particles include the atomic constituents electrons, protons, and neutrons.
|
|
Electrons
|
The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge. Electrons are main cause of chemical bonding.
|
|
Protons
|
A proton is a subatomic particle with a positive fundamental electric charge
|
|
Neutrons
|
The neutron is a subatomic particle with no net electric charge and a mass slightly larger than that of a proton.
|
|
Electron configuration
|
In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure.
|
|
Energy levels
|
A quantum mechanical system or particle that is bound, confined spatially, can only take on certain discrete values of energy
|
|
Aufbau principle
|
The idea an atom is "built up" by progressively adding electrons. As they are added, they assume their most stable orbitals
|
|
Electron orbitals
|
The region in which an electron may be found around a single atom in a particular energy state
|
|
Nuclear symbol
|
The nuclear symbol consists of three parts: the symbol of the element, the atomic number of the element and the mass number of the specific isotope.
|
|
Lewis dot notation
|
Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
|
|
Ions
|
An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more valence electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge.
|
|
Hyphen notation
|
Writing an specific isotope. The number after the hyphen is the mass number
|
|
Isotopes
|
The same chemical element each having different atomic mass (mass number) because it does not have the same number of neutrons
|
|
Average atomic mass
|
The atomic mass of all isotopes averaged out based on their percentage
