🗑
Smallest unit of an element   Atom  
🗑
Small, dense center of an atom composed of protons and neutrons   Nucleus  
🗑
Positively charged subatomic particle located in the nucleus of atoms   Proton  
🗑
A subatomic particle located in the nucleus of atoms that has no charge   Neutron  
🗑
A negatively charged subatomic particle located in energy levels around the nucleus of atoms   Electron  
🗑
The electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom   Valence electron  
🗑
The basic building blocks of matter and are composed of just one type of atom   Element  
🗑
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom which identifies the element   Atomic Number  
🗑
The mass of an atom which is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom   Mass number  
🗑
The average mass of all the isotopes of an element   Atomic Mass  
🗑
Each verticle column of elements on the periodic table   Family/group  
🗑
Each horizontal row of elements on the periodic table   Period  
🗑
A property of matter that describes a substance based on its ability to change into a new substance with different properties   Chemical property  
🗑
A property of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the identiy of the matter   Physical property  
🗑
A change that occurs when one or more substances are changed into entirely new substances with differenct properites.   Chemical change  
🗑

A shorthand description that uses chemical formulas to describe a chemical reaction.   Chemical equation  
🗑
The starting substance or substances in a chemical reaction   Reactants  
🗑
The substance or substances that are formed in a chemical reaction   Products  
🗑
A charged particle that forms during chemical changes when one or more valence electrons transfer from one atom to another   Ions  
🗑


   

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.
