- 1AtomThe defining structure of an element. It cannot be broken by any chemical means.
- 2ElectronA negatively charged component of an atom. Electrons surround the atom's nucleus.
- 3Sub-atomic ParticleA component of an atom. The particles include Proton, Electron and Neutron.
- 4Electron ArrangementHow electrons are arranged in the shells surrounding the nucleus.
- 5Atomic NumberThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.
- 6Atomic Mass NumberThe total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- 7AnionAn atom, or group of atoms, that has gained one of more electrons and therefore has a negative charge.
- 8CationAn atom, or group of atoms, that has lost one or more electrons and has a positive charge.
- 9IsotopesTwo or more elements that have the same atomic number but a different mass number.
- 10IonsAtoms that have lost or gained electrons, gaining a charge and becoming stable.
