Term
what would you find in the middle of a nucleus?
Definition
Positively charged protons and neutrons.
Term
Period
Definition

Term
Colloid
Definition
Colloids are mixtures whose particles are larger than the size of a molecule but smaller than particles that can be seen with the naked eye. Colloids are one of three major types of mixtures, the other two being solutions and suspensions. The three kinds of mixtures are distinguished by the size of the particles that make them up.
Term
Compound

Covalent Bond
Definition
chemical Bond when two atoms share electrons is what?
Term
Element
Definition
Is a substance that can't be broken down into simpler chemical substances.
Term

Term
Atomic number
Definition
is the number of protons that are found in the nucleus.
Term
