Question
Answer
Atom   the smallest particle of an element that can exist alone or in combination  
🗑
Neutron   a particle that has a mass nearly equal to that of the proton but no electrical charge is present in all atomic nuclei except those of hydrogen  
🗑
Proton   a very small particle that occurs in the nucleus of every atom and has a positive charge of electricity  
🗑
Electron   a very small particle that has a negative charge of electricity and travels around the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
Ion   an atom or group of atoms that carries an electric charge  
🗑
Isotope   any of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number and position in the periodic table and nearly identical chemical behavior but with differing atomic mass or mass number and different physical properties  
🗑
Atomic number   an experiemntally determined number characteristic of a chemical element that represents the number of electrons outside the nucleus and that determines the place of the element in the periodic table  
🗑
Nucleons   protons or neutrons in the atomic nucleus  
🗑
Nuclide   a species of atom charcterized by the constitution of its nucleus and hence by teh number of protons, the number of neutrons, and the energy content  
🗑
