Across
- 1. any one of several types of very small particles that make up matter
- 6. the "smallest piece of matter" that if broken into smaller pieces, loses its original properties
- 7. arrangement of chemical elements according to atomic number
- 9. the energy level of a physical system (as an atom) having the least energy of all its possible states
- 11. The number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
- 13. the electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom.
- 15. Center of the atom. Contains protons and neutrons.
- 18. one of the stable states of constant energy that may be assumed by a physical system -- used especially of the states of electrons in atoms
- 19. any number of entities (members) considered as a unit
- 20. An atom with a charge. Number of protons does not equal number of electrons.
Down
- 2. Average mass number of all isotopes of an element
