Pure substances made up of all the same kind of small particles, called atoms.
Elements
The smallest pieces of an element that have the characteristics of the element
Atoms
All the elements that have been identified so far are organized into a table called…
The Periodic Table of the Elements
Each row of the table is called a
Period
Elements become heavier as you move across the tableÄ
Horizontally
Each column on the table is called aÄ
family or group
Elements become larger as you move… within each column.
From top to bottom
Each element is… because of the structure of its atoms.
Different from the other elements
Protons and neutrons make up the core of an atom, calledÄ
the atomic nucleus
Both of these particles have mass and contribute to the weight and size of the atom
Protons and neutrons
Both of these particles have mass and contribute to the weight and size of the atom
Protons and neutrons
These are mass-less negatively charged particles that form a cloud around the atomic nucleus
Electrons
The number of protons in an atom
The Atomic Number
determines the type of element
The Atomic Number
the number of… in an element are always the same
Protons
