atom basic building block of all non-living matter
nucleus center part of the atom that contains the protons and neutrons
protons positive sub-atomic particle (+)
neutrons neutral sub-atomic particle (o)
electrons negative sub-atomic particle (-)
Bohr model a model of the atom, developed by Danish scientist, Niels Bohr, that shows electrons moving in orbit around the nucleus of the atom
electron cloud model the model of the atom that shows electrons forming a cloud as they move around the nucleus of the atom
element matter that is made of just one kind of atom
atomic number the number of protons in an atom of an element
periodic table a chart that contains many facts about the elements and their atoms
Dmitri Mendeleev a Russian scientist who in 1886 created the periodic table of the elements arranged by number and family
Neils Bohr danish scientist who developed the bohr model of the atom
atomic mass weight of the atom
