    Different language discriptive words, where element was discovered, named after scientist who discovered it. 
  4. What makes parts of an atom? 
    • Proton- (+) in nucleus. located by atomic # (smaller number)
    • Neutron- (neutral) In nucleus. Located by mass # - atomic #
    • Electron- (-) energy levels outside nucleus. Find by atomic # because in a neutral atom protons and electrons are equal. 
  5. Atomic Mass 
    Atomic Number
    • Atomic Mass - Protons and Neutrons
    • Atomic Number- Protons
  6. Atomic Symbol (aXz) equals?
    • A=Mass Number
    • X= element symbol
    • Z=Atomic #
  7. Isotope
    Atom of same type that has same number of protons but different number of neutrons. (change in neutrons) To identify look at mass # and compare to table mass #.
