1

atom

the smallest particle of an atom that still has the properties of that atom

New cards
2

if there is the same number of protons and electrons

New cards
3

electron cloud

the space around the nucleus where the electrons orbit

4

electrons

negatively charged subatomic particles that help make up an atom

New cards
5

What determines which element an atom is?

the number of protons

New cards

How are cations formed?

The atom loses electrons creating a positive charge

New cards
12

How are anions formed?

An atom gains electrons, creating a negative charge

New cards
19

The Quantum Mechanical model

created by multiple people, discovered the electrons moved in a fuzzy cloud and less of exact orbits

New cards
20

Who is attributed with the idea of arranging the known elements of his time into a model based on their chemical and physical properties?

Dmitri Mendelev

New cards
21

Who arranged the periodic table of elements by atomic number?

Henry Mosely

New cards
22

The periodic law states there is a periodic repetition of physical and chemical properties of the elements...

when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number

New cards
23

valence electrons

electrons on the outer shell of an atom

New cards
24

What are the horizontal rows of the periodic table called?

periods
