The smallest fundamental unit of matter that composes all substances.

A particle smaller than an atom that forms its structure, includes protons, neutrons, and electrons.

The small, dense center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.

The area around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found.

A pure substance consisting of one type of atom, distinguished by its number of protons.

Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses.

An atom that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net charge.

A positively charged ion formed when an atom loses one or more electrons.

A negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.

A chemical bond formed between metallic cations and nonmetallic anions.

Observations made without altering a substance's identity, like color or hardness.

Characteristics that determine a substance's reactions with other substances.

Properties that do not depend on the quantity of matter, like odor and color.

Properties that do depend on the amount of matter, like mass and volume.

The three forms of substances: solids, liquids, and gases.

Matter with closely packed atoms that have a definite shape and volume.

Matter with loosely bonded atoms, indefinite shape, and definite volume.

Matter with atoms moving quickly and no defined shape or volume—compressible.

The transition from one state of matter to another, such as melting or freezing.

Matter is conserved during physical and chemical changes; it cannot be created or destroyed.

Negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus.

Substance made of two or more atoms chemically bonded together.

Substance composed of two or more different atoms in a fixed ratio.

Made of cations and anions held together by ionic bonds.

Formed by nonmetals sharing electrons through covalent bonds.

Different from the properties of their constituent elements.

Elements react with others to form stable compounds.

Contain only one type of compound per element.

Composed of two or more compounds/elements without forming bonds.
