  • Ion
    A particle formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge.
  • Cation
    A positively charged particle produced when an atom loses one or more electrons.
  • Anion
    A negatively charged particle produced when an atom gains one or more electrons.
  • Electron
    A subatomic particle with a negative charge found orbiting the nucleus of an atom.
  • Noble Gas
    An element with a stable electron arrangement, often used as a reference for chemical stability.
  • Isoelectronic
    A condition where different species have the same number of electrons, leading to similar electron arrangements.
  • Atomic Number
    A value representing the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, determining the element's identity.
  • Mass Number
    A value equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
  • Charge
    An electrical property resulting from the imbalance between protons and electrons in a particle.
  • Metal
    An element type that tends to lose electrons, forming positively charged particles.
  • Nonmetal
    An element type that tends to gain electrons, forming negatively charged particles.
  • Nucleus
    The dense central region of an atom containing protons and neutrons.
  • Proton
    A positively charged subatomic particle located within the atomic nucleus.
  • Neutron
    A neutral subatomic particle found in the atomic nucleus, contributing to atomic mass.
  • Electron Arrangement
    The specific distribution of electrons around an atom's nucleus, influencing chemical behavior.
