### ✅ **def mass_number():**  
A = Z + N  
- **A** = mass number  
- **Z** = number of protons  
- **N** = number of neutrons  

---

### ✅ **def atomic_weight():**  
Atomic_Weight = NA × weight_per_atom  
- NA = Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 1023 atoms/mol

---

### ✅ **def electron_config(element):**  
→ Defined by quantum numbers:  
- **n**: principal level  
- **l**: subshell (s, p, d, f)  
- **ml**: orbital orientation  
- **ms**: spin (+1⁄2, -1⁄2)  

Electrons fill orbitals by increasing energy levels (Aufbau principle).

### ✅ **def electronegativity():**  
- Ranges from 0.7 to 4.0  
- High electronegativity → tendency to gain electrons  
- Used to predict bonding type  

---

### ✅ **def ionic_bonding():**  
Occurs when electrons are **transferred**  
→ Between **metal (low EN)** and **non-metal (high EN)**  
→ Example: NaCl, MgO  

---

### ✅ **def covalent_bonding():**  
Occurs when electrons are **shared**  
→ Between atoms with **similar electronegativity**  
→ Example: CH4, O2  

---

### ✅ **def metallic_bonding():**  
Delocalized “electron cloud” around positive metal ions  
→ Non-directional, explains conductivity and malleability in metals  

---

### ✅ **def secondary_bonding():**  
Weak interactions between molecules  
- **Dipole-dipole**  
- **Induced dipoles**  
- **London dispersion forces**  
→ Example: polymers, HCl, water  

---

### ✅ **def net_bond_energy():**  
EN = -A / r + B / rn  
- EN = net energy  
- A = attractive constant  
- B, n = repulsive constants  
- r = interatomic separation  

---

### ✅ **def bond_properties():**  
- **Bond length (r0)**: equilibrium distance  
- **Bond energy (E0)**: energy to separate atoms  

→ Higher E0 → Higher melting temperature  
→ Lower E0 → Higher thermal expansion  

---

### ✅ **def percent_ionic_character():**  
%IC ≈ [1 - exp(-0.25 * (χ_A - χ_B)2)] × 100  
- χ_A, χ_B = electronegativities of atoms A and B  

---

### ✅ **def thermal_expansion():**  
α = ΔL / (L0 * ΔT)  
- α = coefficient of thermal expansion  
- Related to **asymmetry** of energy curve  

---

### ✅ **Bond Type Summary**

| Bond Type       | Electron Behavior   | Directionality     | Strength    | Examples     |
|------------------|----------------------|---------------------|--------------|---------------|
| **Ionic**         | Transferred           | Non-directional     | Strong       | NaCl, MgO     |
| **Covalent**      | Shared                | Directional         | Strong–Weak  | CH4, Si, C     |
| **Metallic**      | Delocalized cloud     | Non-directional     | Moderate     | Fe, Al         |
| **Secondary**     | Dipoles, van der Waals| Directional (weak)  | Weak         | Polymers, H2O  |
