Proton, neutron, electron These are the three particles that make up an atom. Protons and neutrons These two particles make up most of the mass of an atom. electrons These have almost no mass. electrons Atoms will exchange or share these particles with other atoms. isotope An atom that has a different number of neutrons compared to others of the same element is called this. hydrogen This element has the lowest atomic number (1). increase Atomic numbers do this as you move from the left side to the right side of the periodic table. proton Helium has one more of these than hydrogen. Atomic numbers The periodic table is arranged according to these. 92 There are this many natural elements. actinium (Ac) This element would come first if listed alphabetically by symbol. sodium (Na) Of the two elements that make up table salt, this one has the lower atomic number. barium (Ba) This element’s symbol matches the first two letters of the last President’s first name. mercury (Hg) This metal element is a liquid at room temperature. nitrogen (N) Almost 80% of the air we breath is this gas. boron & astatine (BAt) This is what you hit a baseball with. coboat & aluminum (CoAl) This black rock is burned as fuel. silicon & phosphorus (SiP) This three letter word describes how you might slowly drink from a cup. silicon & sulfur (SiS) This word is short for a female sibling.
