the vibrate in place
Term
Gas
Definition
has neither a definite volume or a definite shape

they aquire a negative charge as an ion
Term
Valence Electrons
Definition
The only part of the atom that make chemical bonds
Term
Reason atoms are considered electrically neutral
Definition
they have an equal number of protons and electrons
Term
In a chemical reaction what happens to atoms
Definition
they are never lost or gained just rearranged
Term
New substances form during a chemical reactions
Definition
chemical bonds break, atoms rearrange, new chemical bonds form
Term
Isotopes
Definition
when two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Term
If you count the number of protons in an atom what does this determine
Definition
the atomic number
