Nuclear Fission
The nucleus Splits into two nuclei
Nuclear Fusion
Two nuclei collide into one nucleuous
Isotope
An Element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
Ductile
Ability to be drawn plasticly without damage to the material that is being drawn.
Conductive
The measure of ease at which electric charge/heat passes through a material
Malleable

Typically odorless and colorless
Metalloids
Have characteristics of metals and non-metals
Halogens
Considers as ‘Salts’
Transition Metals
Easily share electrons; great to make compounds
Alkali/Alkaline Metals
Typically silver in color and tend to be reactive
Protons
Positively charged
Neutrons
Neutral charge/No charge
Electrons
Negatively charged
