Term Definition
matter that contains only one type of atom ELEMENTS
The mass of an atom comes almost completely from its necleus
atoms with the same number of protons but different neutrons isotopes
subatomic particle exchanged during a chemical reaction Electron
atoms combine and form elements
Who discovered the necleus? rutheford
Scientist who discovered the electron thompson
what type of elecrons are involved in chemical reactions valance electrons
during a chemical reaction atoms that become atoms with a charge are now ions
