 * Atom, Compounds, Molecule Research Assignment **
 * **View** Table of Elements
 * **Read** Atoms and Elements (BBC)
 * **Read** about atoms and molecules on Fact Monster
 * On your Atom wiki page include **
 * 1) Crete a wiki page named **Atom Code Name.**
 * 2) On your page, provide the definitions of the following terms in your own words:
 * 3) atom-smallest unit of matter makes up all things
 * 4) proton-particle with positive charge
 * 5) neutron-particle with neutral charge
 * 6) electron-particle with a negative charge
 * 7) nucleus-center of a cell
 * 8) atomic number-number on periodic table that represents # of protons
 * 9) atomic weight-average of the isotope weights
 * 10) atomic symbol-letters representing an element
 * 11) You will be assigned an atom to **research**. Go to **Fact Monster** Find the atomic number, atomic weigh and symbol of the atom. Find what atoms it combines with to form compounds. Describe the properties of the atom. Describe the properties of a compound that the atom might form.
 * 12) Neon-
 * 13) atomic number-10
 * 14) atomic weight- 20.1797
 * 15) symbol-Ne
 * 16)  properties- Neon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It's very rare and can be used to make lasers and other light.
 * 17) Neon doesn't combine with anything
 * 18) Find the electronic configuration of the atom. (example: electronic configuration for copper is 2 · 8 · 18 · 1)
 * 19) Using the information from Fact Monster, **draw** a picture of the atom using Tux Paint to show the number and location of the protons, neutrons and electrons. Use a P to mark the location of the Protons. Label the electrons. Write the name of the atom and the atomic symbol. Enter the atomic number. **Save** this picture in TuxPaint. Then **upload** the picture to your Atom wiki page.




 * Wiki Page Summary ** - Each wiki page should have the vocabulary and definitions, the picture of the atom that you created, a summary from Ghosts and Atoms.
