40

inductive reasoning

using scientific observations and logic to arrive at a general scientific principles

New cards
41

deductive reasoning

if then logic. uses general principles to predicts specific outcomes

New cards
42

protons

positively charged in the nucleus

New cards
43

neutrons

no charge; in the nucleus

New cards
44

electrons

negatively charged; in orbitals around the outside of the nucleus (electron shell)

New cards
45

atomic number

number of protons in the nucleus

New cards
46

atomic symbol

1 or 2 letters from an elements English or latin name

New cards
47

radioactive molecules

isotopes

have a different number of neutrons than the neutral element. this causes the element to be unstable and emit energies
