🗑
matter   anything that takes up space (volume) and has weight (mass)  
🗑
element   a substance made of only one kind of atom that cannot be broken down into other substances  
🗑
compound   a substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a specific ratio  
🗑
molecule   a combination of two or more atoms  
🗑
atom   the smallest particle of an element  
🗑
nucleus   the central core of an atom containing protons and neutrons  
🗑
proton   a small positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
neutron   a small uncharged particle found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
electron   a tiny, negatively charged, high-energy particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
periodic table   a worldwide system used for organizing elements into categories based on how they react  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
atomic mass (weight)   the average mass of one atom of an element  
🗑
group (family)   elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table  
🗑
period   elements in the same horizontal row  
🗑
physical change   a change that alters the form or appearance of a material but does not make the material into a new subtance

🗑
chemical bond   a force that holds atoms together  
🗑
chemical equation   a short, easy way to show chemical reactions using symbols instead of words  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   the principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction  
🗑
mixture   two or more substances that are mixed together but not chemically combined  
🗑
solution   a mixture in which a substance is spread evenly throughout another substance  
🗑
suspension   a mixture in which particles can be seen and easily separated by settling or filtration  
🗑
substance   pure matter, always the same in composition  
🗑
ion   an atom or group of atoms that has become electrically charged by gaining or losing an electron  
🗑
