- 1. A subatomic particle that has a negative charge.
- 2. The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.
- 4. In chemistry,a column in the periodic table of the chemical elements.In a group,the chemical elements have atoms with identical valence electrons counts and identical valence vacancy counts.
- 5. A subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom,the number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number,which determines the identify of an element.
- 7. Is a horizontal row of the periodic table.There are seven periods in the periodic table,with each one beginning at the far left.A new period begins when a new principal energy level begins filling with electrons.
- 8. A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
