  2. Mass number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_number

    For other isotopes, the isotopic mass is usually within 0.1 u of the mass number. For example, 35 Cl (17 protons and 18 neutrons) has a mass number of 35 and an isotopic mass of 34.96885. [7] The difference of the actual isotopic mass minus the mass number of an atom is known as the mass excess, [8] which for 35 Cl is –0.03115.

  3. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The periodic table and law are now a central and indispensable part of modern chemistry. The periodic table continues to evolve with the progress of science. In nature, only elements up to atomic number 94 exist; [a] to go further, it was necessary to synthesize new elements in the laboratory.

  4. Negative mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_mass

    In theoretical physics, negative mass is a hypothetical type of exotic matter whose mass is of opposite sign to the mass of normal matter, e.g. −1 kg. [1] [2] Such matter would violate one or more energy conditions and exhibit strange properties such as the oppositely oriented acceleration for an applied force orientation.

  5. List of chemistry mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemistry_mnemonics

    Number of consonants denotes number of oxygen atoms. Number of vowels denotes negative charge quantity. Inclusion of the word "ate" signifies that each ends with the letters a-t-e. To use this for the -ite ions, simply subtract one oxygen but keep the charge the same.

  6. Rubidium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium

    Rubidium is not abundant, being one of 56 elements that combined make up 0.05% of the Earth's crust; at roughly the 23rd most abundant element in the Earth's crust it is more abundant than zinc or copper. [30]: 4 It occurs naturally in the minerals leucite, pollucite, carnallite, and zinnwaldite, which contain as much as 1% rubidium oxide.

  7. Plutonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium

    Pure plutonium-239 may have a multiplication factor (k eff) larger than one, which means that if the metal is present in sufficient quantity and with an appropriate geometry (e.g., a sphere of sufficient size), it can form a critical mass. [21]

  8. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

    Periodic variation of Pauling electronegativities as one descends the main groups of the periodic table from the second to the sixth period. Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself. [101]

  9. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    Looking at the table, one can see that the positive charges are on the left side of the table and the negative charges are on the right side of the table. Charges that are positive are called cations. Charges that are negative are called anions. Elements in the same group have the same charge. A group in the periodic table is a term used to ...
