| The center of an atom is called the _____. | nucleus |
| The copper atom contains ___ electrons and ___ protons. | 29, 29 |
| Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in many layers called _____. | shells |
| _______ orbit the nucleus in the outermost electron shell and are easily dislodged from their orbit. (copper atoms are a good ex.) | Free electrons |
| A common way to remove electrons from their orbit is _____ (rubbing). | friction |
