🗑
electrons   negatively charged, floating around nucleus. number is the same as protons

🗑
period   the horizontal rows on a periodic table  
🗑
group   each vertical column of the periodic table  
🗑
atomic mass unit   (AMU) unit used when finding relative abundance  
🗑
Isotopes   atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons  
🗑
