| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Elements | all matter is composed of basic substances called |
| 92 | of the 112 different elements, how many occur naturally |
| 26 | how many of the naturally-occurring elements are found in the body |
| Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen | 96% of the body's mass (weight) is composed of |
| Each elements is composed of tiny particles called | atoms |
| The structure, or anatomy, of an atom is | atomic structure |
| The two main areas of an atom are | nucleus and shell or orbits |
| The nucleus contains 2 subatomic particles which are | protons and neutrons |
| The orbit contains one type of subatomic particle which is | electrons |
| Electrons have a ______ charge, while neutrons have a ________ charge | negative, neutral |
| In a neutral atom, the number of electrons will equal the number of | protons |
| atoms of different ________ contain different number of protons | elements |
| the number of protons in an atom equal | atomic number |
| The # number of protons neutrons = ne The # of proton + | atomic weight |
| are atoms of he same element, with the same atomic number, but different atomic weights | isotopes |
| Most atoms will combine with other atoms to form | molecules |
| Atoms combine together by a process called | bonding |
| what causes bondng | electron |
| When an atom bonds it will gain, lose or share | electrons |
| the first shell closest to the nucleus can hold a maximum of ______electrons | two |
| The 2nd shell closest to the nucleus can hold a maximum _____electrons | eight |
| the 3rd shell closest to he nucleus can hold a maximum _______ electrons | eights |
| when an atom will lose a single electron to become stable, it is called an ________, and will become a positive ion | electron donor |
| a positive ion is also known as | cation |
| a negative ion is also known as | anion |
