CHCS 6th Grade Science Chapter 5
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atoms | the building blocks of all matter; made up of protons, neutrons, and elections |
| element | a pure substance; all atoms have the same atomic number |
| nucleus | the center of an atom; contains the protons and the neutrons |
| proton | particle that has a positive charge |
| neutron | particle that has no charge, or is neutral |
| electron | a particle that has a negative charge |
| strong force | this holds the nucleus together, keeping the protons and neutrons together |
| atomic number | tells the number of protons and the number of electrons found in an element |
| atomic mass | the mass of an atom; tells how many protons plus how many neutrons are in an element |
| shells | energy levels where electrons can be found circling the nucleus |
| valence electron | the electrons in the outer most shell of an atom |
| periodic table | a chart that arranges elements into groups by their properties |
| electron energy levels | another name for electron shells; energy levels where electrons can be found circling the nucleus |
| period | a horizontal row of the periodic table; tells how many shells an element has |
| chemical family | a group of elements that have similar properties; vertical columns on the periodic table; tells how many valence electrons each element has |
| groups | another name for chemical family; a group of elements that have similar properties; vertical columns on the periodic table; tells how many valence electrons each element has |
| metal | an element that usually has one, two, or three valence electrons and that is typically shiny, hard, and a good conductor of heat and electricity |
| nonmetal | an element that usually has five, six, or seven valence electrons and that is typically dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity |
| Lewis dot structures | a figure in which dots around and element's symbol represent valence electrons; also called an electron dot diagram |
