The smallest unit of an element that still has the properties of that element.
What is an ATOM?
This model describes the atom as positively charged with negatively charged particles embedded throughout.
What is the plum pudding model?
The electron cloud is divided into these, also called energy levels.
What are shells?
The number of protons in an atom of an element, used to identify the element.
What is the atomic number?
Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called these.
What are isotopes?
This positive subatomic particle is found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is a proton?
In this model, electrons are in shells in the electron cloud but do NOT travel in fixed orbits.
What is the electron cloud model?
Electrons in the outermost energy level of the electron cloud are called these.
What are valence electrons?
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the mass number?
A charged atom is called this.
What is an ion?
This neutral subatomic particle is found in the nucleus of an atom.
What is a neutron?
In this model, the center of the atom is positive and the negative part surrounds it.
What is the Nuclear Model?
Electrons in the shell closest to the nucleus have this amount of energy compared with electrons farther away.
What is the least amount of energy?
These are the vertical columns on the periodic table, also known as families.
What are groups?
This is the weighted average of all the different versions of an element and is measured in amu
What is average atomic mass?
This negative subatomic particle is found in the electron cloud.
What is an electron?
Name the two models that were compared when explaining how scientists' understanding of the atom changed.
What are the plum pudding model and nuclear model?
This attractive force exists between the positive nucleus and the negative electron cloud.
What is the electromagnetic force?
These are the horizontal rows on the periodic table.
What are periods?
These are the most reactive metals and are found in Group 1. (What are they called)
What are the alkali metals?
These particles make up protons and neutrons, and their attraction holds the nucleus together.
What are quarks?
Draw A Bohr Model for Oxygen-16

This force between quarks in the nucleus holds the nucleus together despite the repulsive electromagnetic force between positive protons.
What is the strong nuclear force?
Elements in the same group often have similar properties because they have the same number of these.
What are valence electrons?
These are the most reactive nonmetals and are found in Group 17. (What are they called)
What are the halogens?
