| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atom | basic unit of mass |
| Plum-Pudding Model | atom diagram only consisting of electrons |
| Gold-Foil Experiment | otherly known as the Alpha scatter Experiment...came to conclusions that atom is mostly empty space and theres a small positive nucleus core |
| Orbitals | clouded area where electrons are located |
| Nucleus | small positive core of an atom |
| Electron | negative charged particles of an atom |
| Neutron | The neutrally charged particles of an atom |
| Mass Number | Total of protons and neutrons |
| Atomic number | number of protons and electrons |
| Ion | non-neutral gained or lost electrons |
| Isotope | different types of atoms |
| Atomic Mass | weighted average of the naturally occuring isotopes |
| Valence electrons | electrons in outermost shell |
| Octet | 8-to have 8 electons per cloud |
| Excited State | When electrons jump to a higher energy level |
| Ionization Energy | amount of energy needed to remove an electron |
| Electron Affinity | energy change when an electron is added to the neutral species to form a negative ion |
| Electronegativity | describes an atoms ability to attract electrons(sexiness) |
