chemistry
branch of science that studies the composition, properties, and interactions of matter.
atom
smallest particle of an element that has properties of that element.
electron (e)
extremely small particle within and atom; carries a positive electrical charge and is found with an atomic nucleus.
proton (p+)
Relatively large particle within and atom; carries a positive electrical charge and is found within a atomic nucleous.
Neutron
Relatively large particle within an atom; about the same weight of a proton; uncharged and thus electrically neutral; found within a atomic nucleous.
Ion
particle, formed from an atom, that is electronically charged because it has gained or lost one or more elctrons.
