Term | Definition |
---|---|
state of matter | the type of matter a substance is which could be either, liquid, gas, or solid |
solid | a state of matter that has low energy, high attraction force, unchanging shape and volume |
liquid | a state of matter that has medium energy and attraction force and has a changing shape, but not a changing volume |
gas | a state of matter that has high energy and low attraction force, and has a changing volume and shape |
atom | the smallest piece of matter that still keeps the same properties of the original piece of matter |
proton | the sub atomic particle that is inside the nucleus and is what controls the element’s name |
neutron | the sub atomic particle that is inside the nucleus and affects the mass number of an atom |
nucleus | the part of the atom that is in the center and is made of both neutrons and protons |
electron | the sub-atomic particle that controls the reactivity level and the ion charge |
electron cloud | the space around the atom where the electrons are |
valence electrons | electrons on the outermost shell |
The Periodic Table of Elements | the scientific table that organizes all the known elements natural and not by putting them in groups based on their chemical properties |
Reactivity | a matter’s ability to react with other materials |
atomic number | number of protons in a single atom |
mass number | the number of particles in the nucleus of a single atom and is measured by AMU |
atomic mass | the average mass number of all the isotopes of a single element |
Element | a material that is used to make other materials and has to be on the periodic table |
