Electron

A subatomic particle that has no charge and that is found in the nucleus of an atom

This energy level must be filled for an atom to be stable. This is why some atoms lose/gain electrons

Anything that has mass and takes up space

A subatomic particle that has a negative charge and orbits the nucleus

The central core of an atom containing protons and usually neutrons.

The reason why atoms lose, gain, or share electrons

The path in which electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom

building block of matter

Positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom
