Vocabulary note cards for atoms/atomic structure

TermsDefinitions
Atomic Mass The average mass of all known isotopes of an element.
Atomic mass Units defined as the mass of 1/12 of a carbon-12 atom (6 protons, neutrons in the nucleus plus 6 electrons outside the nucleus.)
Atomic Number The number of protons a atom contains.
Atomic Theory A theory that states that all matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms.
Chemical Symbol an abbreviation that represents the name of and element; used in chemicals.
Electron A subatomic particle in a atom that is negatively charged and that occupies the energy levels in an atom; electrons are involved in chemical bonds and reactions.
Energy Levels a region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found; only a certain number of electrons can be found in each energy level of an atom.
Group Of Elements elements that exhibit similar chemical properties; arranged in columns on the periodic table.
Isotopes forms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons and different mass numbers.
Mass Number the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Neutron an uncharged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Nucleus the center core of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.
Periodic Table Of Elements a table that visually organizes the similarities between all known elements.
Proton a subatomic particle identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom; found with neutrons in all atomic nuclei; carries a positive charge.
Strong Nuclear Force the force that holds protons together when they are very close together (only 10 to the negative 15th meters apart).
Subatomic Particles particles that are smaller than an atom; protons, neutrons, and electrons are subatomic particles.
Valence Electrons the electrons in an atom that are involved in the formation of chemical bonds.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
