Atom | The smallest part of an element that can exist which retains the properties of that element. |
Proton | Protons carry a charge of +1 |
Electron | Carry a charge of -1 |
Neutron | Doesn't carry a charge |
Atomic mass unit | Protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 a.m.u. Electrons have a mass of 1-1840 a.m.u |
Sub atomic particles | Tint particles inside an atom |
Planetary model | The 2d drawing of an atom |
Atomic number | The number over the element sign. It's also the number the element has on the periodic table. It is also the number of electrons and protons |

Alkaline earth metal | A group in the periodic table |
Halogens | Gasses in the periodic table |
Nobel gasses | Gasses in the periodic table |
Periodic table | An arrangement of the elements in order of an increasing atomic number |
Isotopes | Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nucleas. |
Mandeleev | Arranged all the elements on the periodic table |
Dalton | Discovered the atomic structure |
Neil's Bohr | Designed the planetary model of the atom. Aka Bohr diagrams |
