ATOMS

• Basic building block of matter,  consists of 3 basic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons)

• A positively charged particle that is located at the center of the atom in the nucleus

• It doesn't have any charge. The number of neutrons affects the mass and the radioactivity of the atom.

PROTONS

• It doesn't have any charge. The number of neutrons affects the mass and the radioactivity of the atom.

• A positively charged particle that is located at the center of the atom in the nucleus

• A negatively charged particle that spins around the outside of the nucleus.

HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE

• Mixtures that are uniform throughout and the substances are evenly mixed and cannot be visibly distinguished.

• Mixtures that are not uniform and the component substances can be visibly distinguished

• Two or more substances physically combined; easy to separate.
