Protons

Positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.

6
New cards

Neutrons

Neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom that do not have an electric charge.

7
New cards

Electrons

Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom, the smallest sub-atomic particle.

8
New cards

Ion

An atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a net electric charge.

9
New cards

Electron Shells

Regions around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found; each shell can hold a maximum number of electrons.

10
New cards

Full outer shell

A stable electron configuration where the outermost shell of an atom is filled with the maximum number of electrons.

11
New cards

Negatively charged ion

An ion that has gained electrons, resulting in a surplus of negative charge, commonly formed by non-metals.

12
New cards

Electron configuration

The distribution of electrons in an atom's electron shells.

13
New cards

Why do atoms react?

Atoms react to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by gaining or losing electrons.

14
New cards

Electronic structure

The arrangement of electrons in an atom or ion, represented by a diagram of its electron shells.
