pure substance that contains one kind of atom
element
matter
made up of molecules

Radioactivity
disintegration of an element or an isotope with radioactive particles or radiation emission
Law of Conservation of Charges
The atomic number and atomic mass must be
equal with one another, before and after the
reaction.
