The smallest particle of an atom | Atom |
The name given to particles that are smaller than the atom and make up the atom | Subatomic |
A term sometimes used instead of using atomic mass | Atomic Weight |
The center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons | Nucleus |
A small particle in the nucleus of the atom with no electrical charge | Neutron |
The number wich tells you how many protons and electrons are found in an atom | Atomic Number |
