I’m building a carbon atom. I’ve been told that the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that the carbon atom hasprotons. The carbon atom I’m building has a total of 12 particles in its nucleus, which means that I need to useneutrons. The carbon atom I’m building has 6 electrons. These electrons are found in levels. The first level of the carbon atom haselectrons, and the second level haselectrons.

Match each vocabulary term to its definition. 1. electrons neutral subatomic particles found in the nucleus of the atom 2. neutron lowest energy position of an electron in an atom 3. photon the path of an electron around the nucleus of an atom 4. ground state negatively charged, subatomic particles 5. protons packet of energy of specific size 6. element substance with only one type of atom 7. orbital positively charged, subatomic particles found in the nucleus of the atom
