| The negatively charged part of an atom on the outside of the nucleus. | ELECTRON |
| Consists of two protons and two neutrons. | ALPHA PARTICLE |
| A positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom. | PROTON |
| A neutrally charged particle in the nucleus of an atom. | NEUTRON |
| Regions surring the nucleus where electrons are located. | ELECTRON CLOUD |
| The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. | ATOMIC NUMBER |
| Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons. | ISOTOPE |
| The number of neutrons plus the number of protons in an atom. | MASS NUMBER |
| The release of nuclear particles and energy. | RADIOACTIVE DECAY |
| The changing of one element into another through radioactive decay. | TRANSMUTATION |
