🗑
proton   a particle with a positive charge that is found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
neutron   a particle with no charge that is found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
electron   a particle with a negative charge that is found outside the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
valence electron   an electron in the outer shell of an atom which can combine with other atoms to form molecules  
🗑
shell   the path an electron takes as it circles the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
electron cloud   a region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found  
🗑
ion   an atom that has a positive or negative charge  
🗑
isotope   one of two or more atoms with the same atomic number (protons) but with different numbers of neutrons  
🗑
ionic bond   a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains to electron to form a negative ion  
🗑
covalent bond   a chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule  
🗑
atomic mass   the average mass of all the isotopes of an element  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
mass number   the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
element   matter that consists entirely of one type of atom  
🗑
compound   matter whose smallest unit is a molecule made up of more than one kind of atom  
🗑
