Chemical Reaction
a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction
Ion
an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons
Atom
the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
Electron
a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
Cation
a positively charged ion.
Proton
a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron.
