Nucleus membrane bound structure that contains the cell's hereditary information and controls the cell's growth and reproduction.
Electron a negatively charged partical with 1/1840 the mass of a proton
Element Any material that is composed of only one type of atom
Isotope variants of a particular chemical element. While all isotopes of a given element share the same number of protons, each isotope differs from the others in its number of neutrons.
Compound combinations of two or more elements
