Physical and Chemcial Change Flashcards
Atoms are the building blocks of……?
Matter
The smallest representative of an element is an….?
Atom
The smallest piece of an element is an…?
Element
A molecule can be made up of different atoms which is called……
Compound
A molecule can be made up of many of the same atoms, this is called
Elemental
Atoms of the same element are
Identical
Metals are (3 words)
Shiney, malleable, and conductors
Atoms are composed of 3 subatomic particles
Protons, neutons, electrons
The nucleus contains (2)
Protons and Neutrons
Electrons surround the …
Nucleus
Atoms have a nucleus and a cloud of
Electrons
Subatomic means
Smaller or below the level of an atom
Proton and neutrons each have a mass of
one (they weigh the same)
Electrons are very very very tiny and they have…
the 1/2000 mass of a proton
Protons have a positive charge and neutrons
have no charge (are neutral)
Electrons have a…
Negative charge
The nucleus is made up of
Positive and neutral particles
The atomic cloud is made up of
negative particles
positive (protons) and neutral (neutrons) particles like to
Group together
negative (electrons) particles stay
far apart
What is the charge and mass of a proton
+, 1
What is the charge and mass of an electron
-, 1/2000
What is the charge and mass of a neutron
0, 1
The atomic number of an element is
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
So Boron has an atomic number 5, so boron has
5 protons
On your periodic table, the number of protons is equal to the number of….? Because the elements are all….?
Electrons, Neutral
