A reaction type in which one element "swaps places with" another element.
What is a single replacement reaction?
The smallest packet of electromagnetic radiation, often referring to light.
What is a photon?
A quantity used to determine which element lies at the center of its molecular structure; also used to determine the polarity of a given bond.
What is electronegativity?
The calculation of chemical quantities using a balanced molecular equation, molar mass, and grams of a substance.
What is stoichiometry?
System of measurement used in the sciences, including prefixes and standard units.
What is the SI System?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What are the three subatomic particles?
Portion of the electromagnetic spectrum very near the visible light spectrum but with smaller wavelengths.
What is the ultraviolet spectrum?
A conceptual quantity relating the difference between attractive pull a valence electron feels due to the nucleus and the repulsive push the electron feels due to core electrons.
What is effective nuclear charge?
The number of protons and neutrons present in an atom. Also, the number 12 in the atom Carbon-12.
What is the atomic mass / weight?
A quantity, which if very large, corresponds to a larger amount of energy assocaited with an electromagnetic wave.
What is frequency?
A type of bond in which the electronegativity differences between the atoms is large but not quite large enough to constitute an ionic bond.
What is a polar covalent bond?
The energy associated with removing an electron from a neutral atom.
What is ionization energy?
