🗑
weight   a measure of the pull of gravity on an object  
🗑
mass   the amount of matter that makes up an object  
🗑
density   the amount of matter in one unit of volume

atom   a tiny particle from which all substances are composed; the smallest particle of an element  
🗑
nucleus   a tiny, extremely dense core of an atom  
🗑
electron   one of the tiny particles that circle around the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
neutrons   a particle that helps make up the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
protons   a positively charged particle that helps make up the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
neutral   anything lacking in electric charge  
🗑
electron cloud   the cloudlike shield around an atom's nucleus formed by the atoms fast moving elecons; prevents other atoms from moving into the same space  
🗑
shell   a group of electrons in an atom that orbit at roughly the same distance from the nucleus  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in an atom  
🗑
element   a substance that is composed of only one type of atom  
🗑
compound   a substance that is composed of more than one type of atom, bonded together  
🗑
periodic table of the elements   a chart constructed by Dmitri Mendeleev to arrange the elements in such a way as to group similar elements together  
🗑
metals   a large group of elements that are typically shinny, with a silvery color and are good conductors of electricity  
🗑
nonmetals   the elements in the periodic table that are not classified as metals or semi-metals  
🗑
halogens   elements in the 7th column of the periodic table such as flourine and chlorine that show a special tendency to form compounds with alkali and alkaline earth metals  
🗑
sublime   to turn directly from a solid into a gas  
🗑
noble gases   the elements in the last column of the periodic table such as helium and argon; they do not combine with anything else except under unusual circumstances  
🗑
molecule   a tiny group of two or more atoms that are bonded tightly together  
🗑
molecular compound   a compound composed of individual molecules  
🗑
crystal   a geometric arrangement of atoms  
🗑
ionic compound   a compound composed of charged atoms or groups of atoms  
🗑
mixture   the atoms are not connected, but just around each other  
🗑
chemical reaction   a process in which a atoms of elements or compounds are rearranged to form new substances  
🗑
combustion   a chemical reation in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen  
🗑
plutonium   the transuranium element that is most abundant  
🗑
osmium   a metal that is the densest element  
🗑
mercury   the only metal that is liquid at room temperature  
🗑
bromine   brown halogen that is liquid a ordinary room temperatures and pressures; used as an ingredient in photographic film  
🗑
oxygen and nitrogen   the most abundant nonmetal gases in the atmosphere  
🗑
iodine   a nonmetal and halogen that is a purple solid at room temperature  
🗑
diamond   a hard crystaline formed of carbon that is the hardest of all known minerals  
🗑
chromium   metal - often applied to polished steel to protect it from rusting and give the steel a mirrorlike surface; commonly known as chrome  
🗑
zinc   metal - used to galvanize steel; commonly made into such items as chainlink fences, trash cans, roofing nails, and car bodies; an ingredient in flashlight batteries  
🗑
nickel   metal - a very hard metal that is an important ingredient in stainless steel and rechargeable batteries; also used as a lining for tanks holding corrosive chemicals  
🗑
lead   metal - the densest of everyday metals; used in car and trunk batteries and to make wheel weights and firearms ammunition  
🗑

🗑
two forms of carbon   diamond and graphite  
🗑
sulfur   nonmetal element that is an odorless yellow solid at room temperature; called brimstone in the Bible  
🗑
phosphorus   nonmetal element that is a waxlike solid with two forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus; compounds of phosphorus and oxygen known as phosphates are used as fertilizer and food preservatives  
🗑

🗑
sodium and potassium   alkali metals - common in the rocks, soils and oceans of the earth  
🗑
calcium   a silver gray element that is the most common alkaline earth metal, an ingredie in limestone, cement, teeth, and bones  
🗑
magnesium   an alkaline earth metal that is strong but light weight and is used for parts in airplanes and some cars  
🗑
fluorine   a gaseous nonmetal and halogen with many imortant uses  
🗑
chlorine   a gaseous nonmetal that is most widely used halogen  
🗑
helium   a noble gas that replaced hydrogen as the gas with which to fill balloons because it is unreactive  
🗑
argon   the most plentiful of the noble gases; commonly used as a filler in incandescent light bulbs  
🗑
neon   an element and noble gas that is commonly used in "neon signs"  
🗑
