- - - - Element
        
        their identifications are based on
        
        Mass Number
        
        which is
        
        The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
        
        Chemical Symbol
        
        which is
        
        A unique symbol used to represent each element
        
        Atomic Number
        
        which is
        
        The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
        
        for example
        
        Carbon
        
        is
        
        A nonmetallic element that forms the basis of all life and organic compounds
        
        Iron
        
        is
        
        A strong, common metal crucial for making steel and essential for life
        
        Isotopes
        
        are
        
        Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
        
        can also become another variant, such as
        
        Radioisotopes
        
        which is
        
        An unstable version of an element that emits radiation as it decays to become more stable
        
        which are
        
        Chemical substances that cannot be broken down further into simpler substances by chemical means. Contains only one type of atom
    - - Nucleus
        
        is made up of
        
        Neutrons
        
        Subatomic particles found in the nucleus, with a relative mass of 1 and relative charge of 0
        
        Protons
        
        Subatomic particles found in the nucleus, with a relative mass of 1 and relative charge of +1
        
        defined as
        
        A very small and possitively charged component within an atom, containing protons and neutrons
      - Shells
        
        which is
        
        Energy levels or principal quantum shells outside the nucleus where electrons are arranged.
        
        Contains
        
        Energy Levels
        
        which is
        
        The specific, fixed distances from an atom's nucleus where electrons can exist. Electrons in these shells have a specific amount of energy, which is "quantized"
    - - Subatomic Particles
        
        is
        
        A general term referring to the particles that make up an atom
        
        such as
        
        Electrons
        
        which is
        
        Subatomic particles with a relative charge of -1. Found in shells in the space around the nucleus. Their relative mass is much smaller than protons or neutrons
    - - Neutral Atom
        
        which is
        
        An atom that possesses an equal number of protons and electrons
      - Ions
        
        which is
        
        An atom or group of atoms that has a net electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons
    - - The smallest part of an element that can take part in an exchange
- - - - a substance's ability to change into a new substance
  - - - Characteristics you can observe without changing the substance's identity
