This particle determines what element you have - the elements identity.

• electron
• proton
• neutron
• valence shell

This causes the mass of the nucleus to increase.

• adding an electron
• adding a neutron
• more orbitals
• adding negatively charged particles

NGSS.MS-PS1-1

The subatomic particle that determines the identity of an element.

• neutron
• proton
• electron
• outer shell

What charge does the nucleus have and why?

• positive - the neutrons do not have a charge
• positive - the neutrons and protons are positively charged particles
• neutral - the neutral charge dominates the positive charge
• neutral - electrons cancel out the positive charge of the atom
