Question
Answer
Proton   subatomic particle with a positive charge and mass of 1 amu. Found inside the nucleus.  
🗑
Neutron   subatomic particle with neutral charge and a mass of 1 amu. Found inside the nucleus.  
🗑
Nucleon   protons and neutrons (found inside the nucleus)  
🗑
Electron   subatomic particle with a negative charge and no significant mass (1/1836 amu). Located outside nucleus  
🗑
Orbital   region outside the nucleus where you have a 90% probability of finding an electron  
🗑
Mass number   protons + neutrons. The top number in an elements notation.  
🗑
Atomic number   # protons  
🗑
Isotopes   same element (same # protons) but with different numbers of neutrons (different mass)  
🗑
Ions   elements that have a charge due to the gain or loss of electrons. Gaining electrons creates a negative ion  
🗑
Ground state   electrons are in their lowest energy levels (ie: magnesium, 2-8-2)  
🗑
Excited State   electrons are excited and at least one electron is in a higher than normal energy level (ie: magnesium 2-7-3)  
🗑
Electron configuration   lists the number of electrons in each energy level. Max #’s: 1st level: 2; 2nd level: 8; 3rd level: 18; 4th level: 32  
🗑
Lewis (Electron) Dot Structure   element symbol with dots around it, representing the valence electrons. 1st 2 electrons are paired and the rest fill uniformly.  
🗑
Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment   alpha particles (+2) were aimed at gold foil. Two things were proven: 1-the atom is mostly empty space; 2-there is a dense positive center (nucleus)  
🗑
kernel   everything but the valence electrons (nucleus + inner electrons)  
🗑
Bohr Model   model of the atom with the nucleus surrounded by energy levels containing the electrons  
🗑
Wave Mechanical (Electron Cloud) Model   current atomic model. Electrons are located in orbitals (where you have a 90% probability of finding an electron)  
🗑
A negative ion   has more electrons than protons  
🗑
A positive ion   has more protons than electrons  
🗑
A neutral atom   # protons same as # electrons  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
