  1. Elements and Atoms (pg. 27-29) By Megan Blosser Dominique Johnson and Shannon Painter

  2. Elements • A unique substances that can not be broken down into other simpler substances by ordinary chemical methods • Examples: oxygen, carbon, gold, iron • 112 known elements (113 to 116 are alleged) • 92 of them occur naturally while the rest are produced artificially

  3. Elements

  4. Atoms • The smallest particle that still retains its special properties • The basic building blocks of matter • The weird atom has Greek origins and means, incapable of being divided

  5. Atoms • Atoms are indescribably small • Are made of subatomic particles • Under special circumstances can be split into smaller particles • When split into smaller particles the elements loose their special properties • Man used the atom to create atomic bombs and harness the power of electricity through nuclear power

  6. Atoms • The atom consists of electrons, neutrons, and protons
