test 5 Flashcards
Atom
Smallest Particle of an element that still retains properties of that element
Proton
Positively charged particle found in the nucleus
Neutron
Neutrally charged particles found in the nucleus
Electron
Negatively charged particle found outside the nucleus
Nucleus
Small center region of an atom containing the protons and neutrons; positively charged
Atomic number
Number of protons in an atom(z)
Mass number
The sum of the number of protons number of neutrons in the nucleus 
Mass number =
Mass# = atomic # + # of neutrons
Mass# = atomic # + N
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
Groups
Vertical columns ( up and down) of elements on the periodic table 
Periods
Horizontal rows ( side to side) of elements on the periodic table
Regions of periodic table 
Metals, nonmetals, metalloids, noble gases
A= Z+N
Mass number= Atomic number + neutrons 
DimitriM vs HenryM
- DM ordered by increasing atomic mass
-HM ordered by increasing atomic number
-both worked on periodic table
