Question | Answer |
---|---|
Atoms | all things around us are made of atoms |
PARTS OF AN ATOM | Nucleus (protons and neutrons) |
Protons | positive charge |
Neutrons | no charge |
Charges | are attracted to opposites (- to + and vice versa) |
Electrons | particles outside of the nucleus of the atom. |
Electrons | are negatively charged |
Electrons | Smaller than a proton or neutron |
Electrons | orbit the nucleus |
Electrons | are the same number of protons |
Electrons, neutrons, and protons | are subatomic particles |
The number of protons in an atom | determine what it is |
Each of an elements atoms has | the same number of protons |
An atom | is the smallest unit of and element that has properties of that element |
Elements have different properties because | of the different number of subatomic particles |
Atoms | can bond by exchanging electrons |
A molecule | is a group of two or more atoms held together by very strong chemical bonds |
Compounds | pure substances that are made up of two or more different elements that are chemically joined |
Periodic table of elements | presents and organizes information about all the elements |
Atomic mass and Atomic num. | are in the element box |
Atomic number | is the larger number |
The symbol | is the big letters in the box |
Atomic mass | the smaller numbers |
Element name | the name at the bottom of the box |
A horizontal row on the periodic table | is called a period |
A vertical row on the periodic table | is called families and groups |
Chemical properties | determines how a substance will react with other substances |
Reactivity | how likely an element is to react with a different element |
An ion | an atom that has either a positive or negative charge |
Inert | a element that is unable to react |
