The Atom & Periodic Table Vocabulary
1. Atom -The building blocks of matter
2. Isotope -Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of
neutrons
3. Proton -positive charge, are in the center of the atom, determine a
substances identity
4. Electron Configuration- tells you where elements electrons are and
determines what an element will react with.
5. Neutron-Neutral Charge, are in the center of the atom, determine a
substances identity
6. Shell- outer energy level of atom
7. Electron-negative charge, determines an elements reactivity
8. Valence Electrons- electrons in the outer shell of an atom
9. Nucleus- the center of the atom
10.Period- horizontal row
11.Periodic Table- the collection of all known substances in the world
12.Group- vertical columns; they are numbered 1 – 18
13.Element- a substance that can not be broken down into a simpler
substance
14.Family- specific name describing one or more groups
15.Atomic #- This defines what the element is or how many protons the
element has
16.Metals- left and center part of periodic table, Conduct heat and
electricity, Have Luster, Malleable, Ductile, All are solid at room
temperature(except mercury)
17.Atomic Symbol- This is the symbol for the element. Could be English
or Latin letters
18.Nonmetals- right side of the periodic table, Very abundant in nature,
Poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, many are gases
19.Atomic Mass-Average Mass of the element or the total number of
neutrons and protons in an element
20.Metalloids- – some properties of metals and some properties of
nonmetals, They are found along the border between metals and
nonmetals, They are semiconductors.
