Science:
Today in Mr. Groves class, we learned about Atoms and Elements. Types of metal are iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper.



A symbol is a one or two-letter abbreviation derived from the elements English or Latin name.
An atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, as well as the number of electrons in the electron cloud.
Atomic mass is weighted average of the masses of all the elements isotypes. Rounding the atomic mass the nearest whole number yields the mass number of the most common isotype.
Mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in a specific isotype.
The name is the elements common name.
The number 6 in carbon is the atomic number. The Nuclei of the three isotopes of hydrogen are protium, deuterium, and tritium.
An Ion is a atom with a net positive or negative charge. More protons = + ion. More electrons = - ion.

Scientists create models to study things when they are too small, too large, or too dangerous to study. A nucleus is too small to see. If an atom was blown up to be the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a small marble.
