| Question | Answer |
| Plum-Pudding Model | a model of the atom developed by J.J. Thompsom; it included an atom with electrons stuck randomly inside and contained no nucleus |
| Gold-Foil Experiment | an experiment performed by Rutherford; positively charged alpha particles were sent at a piece of gold foil; the experiment resulted in the discovery of the atomic nucleus |
| Orbitals | an area of the atomic model which predicts where an electron is likely to be |
| Nucleus | a dense, positively charged core of an atom, made up of nucleons (protons and neutrons) |
| Proton | a subatomic particle with a positive charge |
| Electron | a subatomic particle with a negative charge |
| Neutron | a subatomic particle with no charge |
| Mass Number | the sum of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus |
| Atomic Number | a number equal to the number of protons in an atom, also equivalent to the number of electrons |
| Ion | a particle that is either positively or negatively charged as a result of gaining or losing electrons |
| Isotope | one of two or more atoms with the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons |
| Atomic Mass | the mass of an atom |
| Valence Electrons | the outermost electrons in an atom; determine how atoms react with other atoms |
| Octet | when you have eight valence electrons |
| Excited State | an elevation of energy above the baseline state |
| Ionization Energy | the energy required to remove the outermost electron in an atom |
| Electron Affinity | when an electron is added to form a negative ion |
| Electronegativity | the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in the formation of an ionic bond |
