| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atoms | all things around us are made of atoms |
| PARTS OF AN ATOM | Nucleus (protons and neutrons) |
| Protons | positive charge |
| Neutrons | no charge |
| Charges | are attracted to opposites (- to + and vice versa) |
| Electrons | particles outside of the nucleus of the atom. |
| Electrons | are negatively charged |
| Electrons | Smaller than a proton or neutron |
| Electrons | orbit the nucleus |
| Electrons | are the same number of protons |
| Electrons, neutrons, and protons | are subatomic particles |
| The number of protons in an atom | determine what it is |
| Each of an elements atoms has | the same number of protons |
| An atom | is the smallest unit of and element that has properties of that element |
| Elements have different properties because | of the different number of subatomic particles |
| Atoms | can bond by exchanging electrons |
| A molecule | is a group of two or more atoms held together by very strong chemical bonds |
| Compounds | pure substances that are made up of two or more different elements that are chemically joined |
| Periodic table of elements | presents and organizes information about all the elements |
| Atomic mass and Atomic num. | are in the element box |
| Atomic number | is the larger number |
| The symbol | is the big letters in the box |
| Atomic mass | the smaller numbers |
| Element name | the name at the bottom of the box |
| A horizontal row on the periodic table | is called a period |
| A vertical row on the periodic table | is called families and groups |
| Chemical properties | determines how a substance will react with other substances |
| Reactivity | how likely an element is to react with a different element |
| An ion | an atom that has either a positive or negative charge |
| Inert | a element that is unable to react |
