Verified Solutions
Atomic Number - Answer✔✔-The Number of Protons in the
Nucleus.
Cation - Answer✔✔-Atom with a positive charge (more protons than electrons)
Anion - Answer✔✔-Atom with a negative charge (more electrons than protons)
he number of Protons CAN or CAN NOT be changed? - Answer✔✔-Can NOT (except in stars)
electrons - Answer✔✔-are added as dots, starting on the
right, and move clockwise.
isotopes - Answer✔✔-Change in the number of Neutrons
ions - Answer✔✔-Change in the number of Electrons
isotopes (contd.) - Answer✔✔-Neutrons stabilize an atom and keep the protons and electrons from
pulling each other apart.
When the number of neutrons is changed, the atom destabilizes and
becomes radioactive.

H2O - Answer✔✔-H and 0 share electrons, but not evenly. We call this a
Polar Covalent Bond!
hydrogen bond (contd.) - Answer✔✔-weak attraction between a slightly + H, and a
slightly -atom on some other molecule.
adhesion - Answer✔✔-H2O H-bonds to other H2O
