Across
- 3. cloud: area around the nucleus of an atom where its electrons are most likely found
- 4. number: the sum of the protons and the neutrons in the element
- 5. neutral particles that have 0 charge
- 7. atomic mass: the weighted-average mass of the mixture of its isotopes
- 8. dot diagram: uses the symbol of the element and dots to represent the electrons in the outer energy level
- 10. protons and neutrons are made of even smaller particles called
- 12. atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
- 14. particles with a positive 1 charge
Down
- 1. particles with a negative 1 charge
- 2. number: the number of protons in the element
- 6. small positively charged center of the atom. contains the protons and neutrons
- 7. the smallest piece of matter that still retains the properties of the element
- 9. he horizontal rows in the periodic table
- 11. table: the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number and by changes in physical and chemical properties
- 13. the vertical columns in the periodic table
