| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| atom | the basic particle from which all elements are made; the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element |
| electron | A tiny, negatively charged particle that moves around the outside of the nucleus of an atom |
| nucleus | the central core of an atom which contains protons and neutrons |
| proton | small, positively charged particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom |
| energy level | A region of an atom in which electrons of the same energy level are likely to be found |
| neutron | A small particle in the nucleus of an atom, with no electrical charge |
| atomic number | The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom |
| isotope | An atom with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons from other atoms of the same element |
| mass number | the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom |
| atomic mass | The average mass of all the isotopes in an element |
| periodic table | An arrangement of elements showing the repeating pattern of their properties |
| chemical symbol | A one or two letter representation of an element |
| period | A horizontal row of elements in the periodic table |
| group | elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table; also called a family |
| metal | A class of elements characterized as by physical properties that include shininess, malleability, ductility, and conductivity |
| luster | The way a material reflects light from its surface |
| malleable | A term used to describe material that can be hammered or roll into flat sheets |
