question
nucleus
answer
the center of an atom
question
proton
answer
A part of the atom with a positive (+) charge. Located in nucleus. Mass = 1 amu
question
neutron
answer
A part of the atom with no (0) charge. Located in nucleus. Mass = 1 amu.
question
electron
answer
A part of the atom with a negative (-) charge. Located in energy levels. Almost no mass.
question
energy level
answer
Located outside of nucleus. Electrons are located here.
question
symbol
answer
abbreviation for an element.
question
number of neutrons
answer
atomic mass - atomic number
question
element
answer
all atoms with same number of protons. Examples: all atoms with 1 proton are called hydrogen. All atoms with 2 protons are called helium.
question
Bohr Model
answer
model of the atom where electrons exist only in energy levels. It is still very useful today.
question
valence electron
answer
an electron in the highest energy level of an atom
question
group
answer
vertical column in periodic table
question
period
answer
horizontal row in periodic table
question
ion
answer
an atom that has gained or lost electrons
question
octet rule
answer
atoms are more stable when their outer energy level is full
question
