All matter is made up of  ionsatomsmoleculeschargesenergycells, which come in different types, called  elementsmetalsparticlesreactantsatomsmolecules, represented using symbols which can be found on the  reactivity listInternetperiodic tablegroup seriesatomic modelcompound sequence.

Over time, different scientists have developed new models of the atom. These include:

  • the  dough ballstrawberry shortcakecheesecakedoughnutupside-down pineappleplum pudding model, where the atom is a ball of positive charge with electrons dotted around
  • Rutherford's model - the  magneticnuclearelasticconnectivedirectionalelectronic model - based on the observations of  metallicbeta particlegamma particlehalogenradiationalpha particle scattering
  •  Albert EinsteinMarie CurieNiels BohrNeil ArmstrongTheodore RooseveltIsaac Newton's model, where electrons orbit the nucleus
  •  Francis DrakeJames ChadwickAlexander FlemingJames DaltonDmitri MendeleevCharles Darwin's model, where neutrons are also in the nucleus

Different  omegasubatomicinfraredmagneticalphaultrasonic particles have different masses and charges. Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) have a mass of  0.5112210-1, and electrons (negative particles) have a very small mass. The relative atomic mass of an atom is the weighted average mass of all of the element's  ionsisotopesbondssaltscompoundsprotons.
