| Question | Answer |
| The smallest particle of an element that can be identified with that element. Consists of protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by electrons. | Atom |
| A substance made of only one kind of atom. Example of elements are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. | Element |
| The perpetual random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid medium. | Brownian motion |
| The smallest particle of substance consisting of two or more atoms of the same or different elements bonded together. | Molecule |
| A chemical substance made of atoms of two or more different elements combined in a fixed propotion. | Compound |
| A description that uses numbers and symbols of elements to describe the proportions of elements in a compound or reaction. | Chemical formula |
| The possitively charged center of an atom, which contains protons and neutrons and has almost all the mass of the entire atom but only a tiny fraction of the volume. | Nucleus |
| The principal building block of the nucleus; a neutron or a proton. | Nucleon |
| An electrically neutral particle that is one of the two kinds of particles found in the nucleus of an atom. | Neutron |
| A possitvely charged particle that is one of the two kinds of particles found in the nucleus of an atom. | Proton |
| A form of a element having a particular number of neutrons in the nuclei of its atoms. Different isotopes of a particular element have the same atomic number but different atomic mass numbers. | Isotope |
| Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. | Atomic number |
| An atom (or group of atoms bound together) with a net electric charge, which is due to the loss or gain of electrons. | Ion |
| A model in which the electrons of an atom are pictured as grouped in concentric shells around the nucleus. | Shell model of the atom |
| A chart that lists elements by atomic number and by electron arrangements, so that elements with similar chemical properties are in the same column. | Periodic table |
