| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atoms | smallest unit of matter |
| Elements | one type of atom |
| Nucleus | the center of an atom, formed by protons and neutrons |
| Subatomic particles | Particles found within the atom, mainly protons, neutrons, and electrons. |
| Protons | positively charged particles |
| Neutrons | electrically neutral particles, which means they have no charge |
| Isotopes | atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons |
| Electron | negatively charged particles with almost no mass |
| Atomic number | the number of protons an atom contains |
| Atomic mass | the average mass of a typical atom of that element |
| Ion | a charged atom |
| neutral | What is the charge of a neutron? |
| positive | What is the charge of a proton? |
| negative | What is the charge of an electron? |
| net charge positive | What is the charge of the nucleus? |
| protons + neutrons | How do you find the atomic mass? |
| same as atomic number | How do you find the number of protons? |
| atomic mass - atomic number | How do you find the number of neutrons? |
| same as protons in a neutral atom | How do you find the number of electrons? |
| inside the nucleus | Where are protons and neutrons located? |
| electron cloud | Where are electrons located? |
