- 4. An element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals
- 7. A table of the elements, arranged by atomic number, that shows the patterns in their properties.
- 8. An atom of one element that has a different number of neutrons than another atom of the same element.
- 10. The number of protons in a nuclear of an atom.
- 12. A particle that has no electric charge, and is located in an atom's nucleus.
- 14. The central region of an atom where most of the atom's mass is found in a proton and neutron.
