Atoms

- All elements are made up of atoms
- Atoms have the same number of protons as electrons
- Protons have a positive charge
- Neutrons have no charge
- Electrons have a negative charge and circle the nucleus
- Discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1897

Atoms are the smallest portion of a chemical element that can not be divided any further without losing the unique properties of that element. They consist of neutrons, protons and a nucleus surrounded by electrons. They are the building blocks of all forms of matter.
Glossary
1. Electrons: Negatively charged subatomic particle that is in constant motion in the outer region of an atom
2. Protons: Positively charged particles located in the nucleus
3. Nuetrons: Particles that carry no charge and are found in the nucleus
4. Nucleus: Very small dense region in the center of the atom that holds the neutrons and protons
