Absolute Zero The lowest possible temperature - ANSWER Absolut Zero
The pressure exerted by the gases in the air. units of measurement are kilopascals,
atmospheres, millimeters of mercury, and Torr - ANSWER atmospheric Pressure
Pressure is 100 kPa, 1atm, 760 mm Hg or 760 Torr - ANSWER standard atmospheric
pressure
the smallest particle of an element a nucleus and its surrounding electrons. - ANSWER
Atom
the mass of an atom measured in atomic mass units (amu). one atomic mass unit is
equal to one-twelfth of the atom of carbon-12. atomic mass is now more generally used
instead of atomic weight. Example: the atomic mass of chlorine is about 35amu. -
ANSWER atomic mass
Atomic Number The number of electrons or number of protons within an atom. Example:
The atomic number of gold is 79. - ANSWER atomic number
A general term that refers to the average molar mass of an element. This is the mass per
mole of atoms. Ex: The atomic weight of chlorine is about 35g/mol - ANSWER atomic
weight

the process in which one substance gradually mixes with another until the two
substances are uniformly mixed. mixing takes place as a consequence of the
differences in concentration within the mixture. _______ acts quickly in gases, very
slowly in liquids. - ANSWER diffusion
to break down a substance in a solution without causing a reaction - ANSWER dissolve
