Document Summary

Matter- anything that takes up space and has mass. Electrons (e-) negative nucleus - the central region of an atom. Atomic number- number of protons in an atom. Electron cloud- sphere electrons travel around the nucleus. Electron shell- outside part of an atom around the atomic nucleus. Element- pure substance composed of one type of atom. 92 natural elements, 24 created in nuclear reactions. Atomic nuclei are unaltered by ordinary chemical processes. Isotopes- atoms of the same element whose nuclei contain different numbers of neutrons. Have essentially identical chemical properties and are alike but in mass. Mass number- total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. Radioisotopes- spontaneous breakdown and give off subatomic particles or radiation in measurable amounts. Half-life the time required for half of a given amount of the isotope to decay. Atomic weight- average of different atomic masses mole - specific quantity with weight in grams equal to that element"s atomic weight.
