Atom Smallest piece of matter that has the same properties of the element it is in.
Proton A positive + subatomic particle in the atoms nucleus. Is the identity of the element and the atomic number.

Electron A negative subatomic particle spinning outside the nucleus of an atom. Tiny !
Element The simplest forms of matter that contains only one type of atom.
Periodic Table of Elements A chart that organizes all the elements by atomic number and properties.
Valence Electron The electron in the outer level of an atom that causes atoms to bond together.
Chemical Bond An interaction that holds 2 atoms together.
Chemical Bonding The joining of atoms to form new substances
Ionic Bond Is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another
Ion Charged particle or atoms that gained or lost electrons

Coefficient The large number that multiplies atoms of the element. 2Cl + 3Na
Reactant A substance or molecule that starts a chemical reaction.
Product The substance that forms as a result of a chemical reaction.
Law of Conservation of Mass States that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
Synthesis Reaction When two or more substances combine to create one new compound
Decomposition Reaction A reaction where a single compound breaks down to form 2 simpler substances
