Question | Answer |
---|---|
The smallest particle into which an element can be divided. | Atom |

The area of an element with NO CHARGE | Neutron |
The TWO particle parts that are in the nucleus of an atom | Neutrons and protons |
The center of the atom | Nucleus |
Electrons are likely to be found in this area | Electron clouds - outside the nucleus |
The positively charged particle of an atom | Protons |
The three main parts of an atom | Protons, neutrons, electrons |
The number of protons in an element identifes this | Atomic number |
An atom that has the same number of protons but a DIFFERENT number of neutrons as other atoms of the same element. | Isotope |
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom | Mass number |
Ancient Greek who said the atom was the smallest bit of matter - the 'uncuttable' piece | Democritus |
English scientist in 1700's who said atoms could not be created, divided, or destroyed, and atoms could join together to form new substances | John Dalton |
