CONSTANTS IN CHEMISTRY

	6.02 x 1023 NAME: Avogadro's Number WHAT: It tells you the number of atoms in a mole or the number of molecules in a mole of a substance.
	9.1x10-31kg NAME: Mass of an Electron WHAT: We talk about electrons spinning around the nucleus of an atom. Well the me is the mass of one of those electrons.
	1.675x10-24g NAME: Mass of a Neutron WHAT: In the nucleus of an atom there are neutrons and protons. A neutron has this much mass.
	1.673x10-24g NAME: Mass of a Proton WHAT: In the nucleus of an atom there are neutrons and protons. A proton a mass of this amount.
	6.63x10-34Js NAME: Planck's Constant WHAT: Max Planck figured out that energy can be gained and lost by an atom. He used this constant to figure out how much energy. The "J" stands for Joules.
	3x108m/s NAME: Speed of Light (in a vacuum) WHAT: Scientists figured out that light always travels at the same speed in a vacuum. The number is really 299,792,458 meters per second, but we abbreviate it.
	9.8 m/s2 NAME: Acceleration of Gravity of Earth WHAT: What if you drop a ball from a height? It speeds up as it falls. The amount it speeds up (acceleration) is because of gravity.
	1.66x10-27kg NAME: Atomic Mass Unit (also called a Dalton) WHAT: It is 1/12 the mass of a Carbon-12 atom. It is the basis for figuring out the mass all other atoms.
	1.6x10-19C NAME: Charge of an Electron WHAT: This is the charge of one electron flying around the nucleus.
	.082 Latm/molK 8.3 J/molK 1.987 cal/Kmol NAME: Universal Gas Constant WHAT: This constant is used in the Universal Gas Law "PV=nRT". It has the same value for all gases. You use a different value depending on what measurements your formula uses.
