The three subatomic particles found in an atom
What are electron, proton, and neutron?
The tendency of an atom to attract electrons
What is electronegativity?
The maximum number of electrons permitted within a single orbital.
What is two?
A disturbance in a medium that transfers energy

What are things Dr. Dudgeon likes to do during summer vacation?
An atom with more protons than electrons
What is a cation?
The second column in the periodic table contains these elements, which have two valence electrons.
What are the alkali earth metals?
These four letters are used to designate the electron orbitals.
What are s, p, d, and f?
The mathematical relationship between frequency and frequency in a wave
What is inversely proportional?
Dr. Dudgeon's career prior to becoming a teacher
What is chemical engineer?
What is a proton?
This factor has the biggest impact on the force of attraction between electrons and protons.
