Periodic Table Quiz

These flashcards cover key terms and concepts related to atomic structure and the periodic table, assisting students in exam preparation.

Atomic number

The number of protons in an atom, which determines the element's identity.

Atomic Number

Equals the number of protons in the atom.

Atomic Mass

Equals the total number of protons and neutrons (the subatomic particles within the nucleus).

Elements are ordered on the Periodic Table based on this

number of protons
