        Help!  

TERM
DEFINITION
ISOTOPE   This is an atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons  
🗑
ATOMIC MASS   is the average mass of the atoms of an element often expressed in atomic mass units (amu);  
🗑
VALENCE ELECTRONS   the electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom  
🗑
ATOMIC NUMBER   number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
MASS NUMBER   the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom (m#=p+n)  
🗑
PROTONS   the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
NEUTRONS   neutrally charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
ELECTRONS   negatively charged particles found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
11   the mass number is 20, what is the number of neutrons?  
🗑
CALCIUM   What is the name of the element with 20 protons?  
🗑
NUCLEUS   The dense, positively charged center of an atom is called the _  
🗑
OXYGEN   Name this element: there's 2 electrons in 1st shell, 6 in second shell.  
🗑
Yes, because the number of neutrons differs from # of protons.   If an element with atomic # 27 has 26 neutrons, is it an isotope? Explain choice  
🗑
PHOSPHORUS (atomic #15)   Name this element: there's 2 electrons in 1st shell, 8 in second shell, and 5 in last shell.  
🗑
J. J. THOMSON   Which scientist proposed the "plum pudding" model?  
🗑
ELECTRONS   In a single neutral atom the number of protons equals the number of __  
🗑
ION   a charged atom  
🗑
JJ THOMSON   Discovered the electron  
🗑
E. RUTHERFORD   PERFORMED GOLD FOIL EXPERIMENT AND FOUND THAT AN ATOM HAS A POSITIVELY CHARGED NUCLEUS  
🗑
E. RUTHERFORD   His atomic model is nicknamed "nuclear" model  
🗑
N. Bohr   stated that electrons are in specific orbits around nucleus (energy levels)  
🗑
DEMOCRITUS   FIRST TO PROPOSE IDEA OF ATOM; SAID THEY WERE INDIVISIBLE  
🗑
SCIENTIFIC MODEL   A representation of a system or phenomenon; it can be bigger or smaller than what it represents  
🗑
electron cloud   where electrons in an atom are most likely to be found (outside nucleus)  
🗑
