proton
The proton is a subatomic particle with a positive electrical charge.
nutron
neutron is one of the three subatomic particles that make up an atom. It exists in the nucleus of the atom alongside protons and makes up an atom’s atomic mass with protons.
electron
an elementary particle that has a negative charge of electricity and travels around the nucleus of an atom.
nuclius
the structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes
electron shell
regions surrounding the atomic nucleus containing a specific number of electrons
Plum pudding
In Thomson’s plum pudding model of the atom, the electrons were embedded in a uniform sphere of positive charge, like blueberries stuck into a muffin.
Nuclear model
any of several theoretical descriptions of the structure and function of atomic nuclei
atom
The smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically. It makes up everything
isotope
Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
compound
A pure substance made from more than one type of element chemically bonded together.
element
a substance that consists of only one type of atom and it cannot be broken down into anything simpler by chemical means.
mixture
made from two or more elements or compounds being mixed together, without the formation of any chemical bonds
filtration
sed to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
distillation
a pro`cess used to separate liquids based on their boiling points.
