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