Term
Substance
Definition
a material that has a definite and constant composition
Term
Simple substance
Definition
an element
Term

Laid the groundwork for the periodic table
Term
Proton
Definition
A positively charged subatomic particle within the nucleus of an atom

the process of adding or removing an electron from an atom
Term
Octet Rule
Definition
The number of electrons in the outermost shell never exceeds 8 electrons
Term
isotope
Definition
Atoms that have the same number of protons in the nucleus but differ in the number of neutrons.
Same Z#, different A#.
Term
isobar
Definition
Term
Isotone
Definition
Atoms that have the same number of neutrons but different number of protons.
Term
Isomer
Definition
Atoms that have the same numbers of protons and neutrons but a different nuclear energy state.
Term
Groups/Families
Definition
Vertical columns on periodic table that have the same number of electrons in the outermost shell and therefore have similar chemical properties.
Term
Rows/Periods
Definition
Horizontal rows on the periodic table that contain elements with the same number of electron shells.
Term
