Chapter 2 - The Nature of Matter by Tristan Tsai https://padlet.com/2025tsait/b750nwwl2daw9zso en-us 2022-05-16 16:42:48 UTC 2022-05-17 17:13:49 UTC hello@padlet.com Vocabulary 2025tsait https://padlet.com/2025tsait/b750nwwl2daw9zso/wish/2186063988 Atom - The basic unit of matter
Neutron - Subatomic particle the same mass as a Proton, but  has no electrical charge 
Proton - Subatomic particle with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron but positive
Electron - Negatively charged subatomic particle with only 1/1840 the mass of a proton 
Nucleus - Positively charged core of an atom made up of protons and neutrons and makes up most of the mass
Monomer - Molecule that can bond to identical molecules to make up a polymer
Polymer - Natural/synthetic substance composed of large molecules called macromolecules which are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers.
Enzyme - Biological catalyst which is usually protein
Element - a pure substance that consists entirely of one type of atom
Isotope - 2 or more atoms with the same atomic number and place on the periodic table, but they have different numbers of neutrons which changes their atomic mass.
