---|---|
Atom | The basic building block of matter |
Electron | A negativity charged particle in an atom |
Element | A substance that can not be broken down and it is pure |
Ion | An atom that has a different number of electron than protons |
Isotopes | Atoms with the same number of protons but with the different number of neutrons |
Neutrons | An charged particle in the nucleus of an atom |
Periodic table | A table of chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number usually in rows |
Proton | A positively charged particle in an atom |
Nucleus | The central part of an atom |
J. J. Thomson | An English scientist that discovered electrons by preforming an experiment with a cathode ray "Plum - Pudding Model" |
Niels Bohr | A Danish scientist who disagreed with J. J. Thompson and found out that electrons travel in orbital (energy levels) around the nucleus |
Radiation | Energy in the form of electromagnetic waves |
Metals | Shiny and conduct electricity and heat. One way to characterize a element. To the left of the stair steped line |
Non-metals | Dull luster and are poor conducters of electricity and heat. One way to characterize an element. To the right of the stair steped line |
Semi-metals | Condicts electricity and heat better than non-metals but poorly than metals. Also called metaliods. Found along the stair stepped line execpt AL. |
Dmitiri Mandeleyez | Made the first periodic table with 63 elements |
Chemistry | A branch of science that studies the structure properties and reactions of the chemical elemements and compounds they form. |
