AB
atomthe smallest particle of an element that still has all the properties of that element.
chemical propertycharacteristics of an element or compound that determine how it will react with other elements or compounds.
compound a substance containing two or more chemically combined elements and having properties different from those elements it contains
densityhow tightly packed a substances milecules are: expressed as the mass of an object divided by its volume in grams per cubic centimeter
electronone of the three sub-atomic particles in an atom: orbit the atom's nucleus and has a negative charge
elementa substance that contains only one kind of atom; cannot be broken down into simpler substances
ionan atom with an electric charge
isotopeatoms of the same element that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons
matteranything that has mass and takes up space
mixturea combination of diffrrerent substances that keep their own physical and chemical properties despite being mixed.
moleculethe smallest particle of a compound that still keeps all the properties of the compound, is made up of like atoms
neutronone of the two particles that make up the nucleus of an atom, it has no electric charge
physical propertycharacteristics of an element of compound that affect weight, clor, density, and such, but dont affect how it will react wtih other elements or compounds
protonone of the two particles that make up the nucleus of an atom, it has a positive electrical charge
super conductora material that allows electricity to pass through it without resistance (the atoms bumbping into one another)
