Name all 3 types of subatomic particles.
Protons, neutrons, electrons
What is the difference between an atom and an ion?

I am made up of two or more different types of particles. What am I?
A Mixture
What are the names for rows and columns on the periodic table?
Rows: Periods

An element in Group 3 will have what ion charge, and why?
+3
Atoms in this group have 3 valence electrons. It will be easier for elements in this group to form ions by losing those 3 valence electrons rather than gaining 5.
