Matter Vocabulary Part 1

Periodic Table

• The basic building block of matter and consists of 3 basic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons)

• An arrangement of the elements according to properties and structure

• A tiny, negativly(-) charged particle that orbits around the nucleus of an atom

  
  

• Pure substances that cannot be changed into simpler substances and are composed of one kind of atom

Atom

Neutron

• The smallest part of a substance formed by the chemical bonding of two or more atoms and that still retains the chemical composition and properties.

• A tiny, neutral particle found in the center (nucleus) of an atom. It has no charge.
