Term
Definition
Atom   the smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element  
🗑
Mass   A measure of how much matter is in an object.  
🗑
Electrical charge   one of the basic properties of the elementary particles of matter giving rise to all electric and magnetic forces and interactions. The two kinds of charge are given negative and positive algebraic signs: measured in coulombs.  
🗑
Proton   is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom. The particle has a positive electrical charge.  
🗑
Neutron   a subatomic particle that has no charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
Nucleus   in physical science, an atom's central region, which is made up of protons and neutrons  
🗑
Electron   a subatomic particle that has a negative charge  
🗑
Electron cloud   a region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found  
🗑
Structure of atoms   theoretically consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus  
🗑
Particle   is a minute fragment or quantity of matter. In the physical sciences, the word is used to describe a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or chemical properties such as volume or mass  
🗑
Cloud   a visible collection of particles of water or ice suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth's surface.  
🗑
Charge   is a characteristic of a unit of matter that expresses the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.  
🗑
Positive charged   having a deficiency of electrons; having a higher electric potential  
🗑
Negative charged   having a surplus of electrons; having a lower electric potential  
🗑
Neutral charged   an atom or collection of atoms that contains neither a positive nor negative charge.  
🗑
Mass number   An integer equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons of an atomic nucleus.  
🗑


   

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.
