Mass Number - Answer✔️✔️-Sum of the protons and the neutrons. An approximation of
the atomic mass.
Isotopes - Answer✔️✔️-Same number of protons, but different number of neutrons and
therefore different mass. Same element.

Potential Energy - Answer✔️✔️-Energy matter possesses because of its location or
structure. Electrons have this based on distance from nucleus.
Electron Shells - Answer✔️✔️-Where electrons are found, each with characteristic
average distance and energy level. Electrons can change these by absorbing or losing
energy.
Valence Electrons - Answer✔️✔️-Electrons in the outermost shell.
Chemical Bonds - Answer✔️✔️-The attraction that holds atoms together during an
interaction.
Covalent Bond - Answer✔️✔️-Sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms.
Molecule - Answer✔️✔️-Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.
