Essential Vocabulary & Concepts

Picture	Core Knowledge or Concept
	An atom is the smallest particle of a substance (matter).
	There are 2 regions of an atom The nucleus in the tiny center of the atom is made of protons and neutrons. The electron cloud is the outside area made up of mostly empty space.
	Protons are tiny positively charged particles. Neutrons are neutral (no charge).
	Atomic mass is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Atomic number is the number of an atom’s protons only. This number is used to classify types of atoms.
	Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus in the electron cloud. They are much smaller than protons and neutrons. In a neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons as protons. Valence electrons react with other atoms. Thry have the most energy and are the furthest from the nucleus.
	A pure substance is stuff made of only one kind of matter with definite properties. (i.e. sugar, salt, iron, & copper)
	Some pure substances, called elements, cannot be broken down into other substances by any chemical means. (i.e. iron, copper, gold, carbon, & chlorine)
	The periodic table an arrangement of the chemical elements by increasing atomic number, which displays the elements so that one may see trends in their properties.
	Elements in the same group (column) react similarly. Group1 and 2 metals react strongly with group 7 elements. Group 8 gasses are unreactive.
	Scientist MarieCurie (ne: Sklodowska): the first person to receive 2 Nobel Prizes for her work in radioactive particle physics (1903) and chemistry (1911). Her work paved the way for modern nuclear technologies in medicine, power, and the military.
	Technology Proton Therapy uses a beam of massive protons to deliver more energy to destroy cancer cells with less danger to the patient.
