| basic building blocks of matter - made up of smaller particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons. | atom |
| a PARTICLE with a POSITIVE charge - forms part of the nucleus of an atom. | proton |
| a PARTICLE with NO electrical charge -forms part of the nucleus of an atom | neutron |
| CENTER of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. positive charge because of protons | nucleus |
| PARTICLE - has a NEGATIVE charge. Found circling outside the nucleus | electron |
| A basic property of matter, a quantity of electricity that is related to the balance of electrons and protons in an object. | electric charge |
| Charges that are the same - repel each other. | like charges |
| Opposite charges - attract each other | unlike charges |
| to withstand the effects of something to actively oppose or strive against | resist |
| fixed in one place; not moving | static |
| The push or pull between one charged object and another charged object. Electrons are not moving from one object to another. If enough difference builds up, it may discharge (shock, lightning) | static electricity |
| having NO electrical charge. | neutral |
| Material through which electric current passes easily | condutor |
| Material through which electric current does NOT pass easily | insulator |
