Subpulmonic particle that has a negative charge
Electron
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element
Atom
In physical science and Adams central region which is made up of protons and neutrons
Nucleus
A region around the nucleus of an Atom where electrons are likely to be found
Electron cloud
The has a positive charge and that is found in the nucleus of an Atom
Proton
A unit of mass that describes the mass of an atom or molecule
Atomic mass unit
Something that a particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom
Neutron
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom the atomic number is the same for all of Atoms of an element
Atomic number
And Adam that has the same number of protons or the same atomic number as other Adams of the same element do but that has a different number of neutrons and the S a different atomic mass
Isotope
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons nucleus of an atom
Mass number
The mass of an Atom expressed in atomic mass units
Atomic mass
