Question
Answer
atomic mass   the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
physical property   a property that can be observed or measured without changing the matter's identity  
🗑
physical change   a change that affects one or more physical properties of a substance  
🗑
chemical property   describes matter based on its ability to change into new matter that has different properties  
🗑
chemical change   happens when one or more substances are changed into new substances that have new and different properties  
🗑
atom   the smallest unit of an element/matter that has the properties of that element  
🗑
electron   a subatomic particle that has a negative charge  
🗑
nucleus   an atom's central region which is made up of protons and neutrons  
🗑
proton   a subatomic particle that has a postive charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
neutron   a subatomic particle that has no charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
element   a substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means  
🗑
metal   an element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well

🗑
Bohr   man who determined electrons move in different energy levels called "shells"  
🗑
Chadwick   man who discovered the neutron  
🗑
Dalton   man who determined compounds form by combining atoms of different elements; first to start using Democritus' word "atom" again in the 1800s  
🗑
