________ are located along the green stair- step line.
4
New cards
Quarks
________: Smaller particles that make up Protons and neutrons.
5
New cards

7
New cards
Bubble chambers
________ can be used by scientists to study the tracks left by subatomic particles.
8
New cards
neutral atom
In a(n) ________, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
9
New cards
models
Scaled- up ________ are often used to visualize things that are too small to see.
10
New cards
Isotopes
________: Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
11
New cards
Periodic Table
________: the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number and by changes in physical and chemical properties.
12
New cards
Atomic Mass
Average ________: the weighted- average mass of the mixture of its isotopes.
13
New cards
electrons mass
Because a(n) ________ is small and the electron is moving so quickly around the nucleus, it is impossible to describe its exact location in an atom.
14
New cards
Atom
the smallest piece of matter that still retains the property of the element
15
New cards
Protons
particles with an electrical charge of 1+
16
New cards
Neutrons
neutral particles that do not have an electrical charge
17
New cards
Quarks
Smaller particles that make up Protons and neutrons
18
New cards

20
New cards
Mass Number
The sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
21
New cards
Isotopes

22
New cards
Average Atomic Mass
the weighted-average mass of the mixture of its isotopes
