The Atom
The center of the atom
What is the nucleus?
The chart by which all elements are arranged by their atomic number and grouped by chemical properties
What is the periodic table?
An atom that is missing an electron
What is an ion?
The positive particle within an atom
What is a proton?
The ratio of elements in a compound
What is the mass ration?
An atom of the same element but a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What is an isotope?
An ion that is missing an electron
What is an anion?
The pure electromagnetic energy that emanates from nuclear change
What is gamma radiation?
This states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of mass?
A pure substance made of the same type of atom.
What is an element?
A bond formed when two atoms "share" and electron.
What is a covalent bond?
a product of nuclear decay that is made up primarily two protons and two neutrons.
What is an alpha particle?
This states that, if two different compounds have the same elements, than their mass ratios must be different.
The Law of multiple proportions
The number of protons in an element.
What is the atomic number?
A chemical bond formed by the attraction between two ions of opposite charges.
What is an ionic bond?
The force that holds the nucleus together.
What is the strong force?
This states that all chemical compounds are made of whole number mass ratios of the elements involved.
What is the law of definite proportions?
A columns in the periodic table.
What is a group?
The force of attraction between two or more atoms to form a compound.
