A kind of chemical formula that indicates the number of atoms of each element in a substance as well as how the atoms are bound together
structural formula
In this type of nuclear reaction, mass number remains constant and atomic number changes
beta

Darwin provided experimental that the atoms of different elements differ from elements on the basis of what property?
mass

When a chemical reaction occurs, bonds among atoms in each reactant break, then the atoms rearrange themselves, and then these form to produce product compounds that are different from reactant compounds
bonds or new chemical bonds
In this type of nuclear reaction, mass number decreases and atomic number decreases
alpha
the strongest kind of chemical bond within a pure substance, arising because of the attraction of each atom in the substance to many other atoms in the substance
ionic
