| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Anything that has mass and takes up space | matter |
| Matter is made up of these tiny particles. | atoms |
| Substance that are made of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by normal physical and chemical means | elements |
| Particles in an atom that have a positive charge | protons |
| particles in an atom that have no charge | neutrons |
| The number on the periodic table that gives the number of protons of an atom for an element | atomic number |
| These are atoms from the same element, but with different amounts of neurons | isotope |
| The center of an atom | nucleus |
| Outside the center of the atom | electron cloud |
| Elements that have some properties of both metals and non-metals | metalloids |
| The weighted average of the isotopes of an element | Atomic mass |
| This is a row of elements on the periodic table where the properties gradually change | period |
| Most of these elements are found as gases and the solid ones are brittle | non-metals |
| Most of these elements are solid, shiny, malleable, ductile, and are excellent conductors of electricity. | metals |
| This is usually a column of elements on the periodic table that share similar properties | family |
| This represents an element's amount of protons | atomic number |
| The most reactive group on the periodic table | alkali metals |
| Substance found on Earth in all three phases or states | water |
| Most stable group on the periodic table because its outer shells contain 8 electrons | Noble gases |
| A solid changes directly into a gas | sublimination |
| A substance made of more than one element bonded together | compound |
| Theory that states that "the mass of the reactants will equal the mass of the products." | Law of Conservation of Mass |
| A change in which a substance changes into a new substance and can be indicated by color change, heat or light produced. | chemical change |
| The number of electrons that an atom needs in order to be stable | eight |
| Type of bonding that occurs because of the attraction of oppositely charged atoms | ionic bonding |
| Type of change in which the substance retains its properties and can be indicated by phase change, cutting, tearing, dissolving, absorption. | physical change |
| Most stable family on the periodic table | Noble gases |
| Most reactive family on the periodic table | Alkali metals |
