| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 2 particles found in the nucleus of an atom? | Protons and Neutrons |
| What particle in an atom changes the Element when you add or take them away? | Protons |
| What particles contribute to the mass number of an atom? | Protons and Neutrons |
| What particles add negative charge to an atom? | Electrons |
| What particles add positive charge to an atom? | Protons |
| What is the name of the center of an atom where the Protons and Neutrons are held? | Nucleus |
| An _______________ has either gained or lost electrons. | Ion |
| If you add an extra electron to an atom it's charge becomes more.... | Negative |
| If you add an extra proton to an atom it's charge becomes more... | Positive |
| The number of protons present in an atom affects: | The Element, charge, and mass number |
| The _________________________ tells you the number of protons in one atom of an element. | Atomic Number |
| The _________________________________ of an element is the average mass of an element's naturally occurring atom or isotopes. | Atomic Mass |
| The mass number of an element is the total number of ____________________ and __________________ in the nucleus of the atom. | Protons and Neutrons |
| You can calculate the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the number of _______________________ from the mass number. | Protons |
| _________________________________ are atoms that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. | Isotopes |
| Oxygen-18 has 8 protons, 10 neutrons, and 8 electrons. It also can have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. Oxygen-18 is an example of an: | Isotope |
| An Oxygen ion with 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 10 electrons - will have a _______________ charge. | Negative |
| An Oxygen ion with 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons - will have a _______________ charge. | Neutral |
| An Oxygen ion with 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 7 electrons - will have a _______________ charge. | Positive |
| A __________________________ is when 2 or more elements are chemically bonded together. | Compound |
| A _______________________ is when atoms or molecules are just physically mixed together. | Mixture |
