Atomic

  • WP: Atom - a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.
  • WP: Atomic_nucleus - contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons (except in the case of hydrogen-1, which is the only stable nuclide with no neutrons)
  • WP: Nucleon
  • WP: Ion - an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom a net positive or negative electrical charge
