is the study of matter and its changes.
Unit D Chapter 1.1 pages D9 – D16 “Atoms are the Smallest Form of Elements” f
element • a substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by ordinary chemical changes • consists of atoms of only one type
HYDROGEN The most common element in the universe is...
Atoms of the element hydrogen account for about 90% of the total mass of the universe. Hydrogen atoms make up only about 1% of Earth’s crust. Most of those hydrogen atoms are combined with oxygen atoms in the form of... ? water
ATOMIC CHEMICAL SYMBOLS one or two letters chosen to represent an element H = hydrogen Ne = neon The origin of some chemical symbols comes from Latin names. Au= gold aurum
It is estimated that about one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) atoms would fit into a period at the end of this sentence. What is the size of one atom?
THE STRUCTUREOF The three subatomic particles that make up atoms are... neutrons, and electrons. protons,
proton a positively charged particle located in an atom's nucleus
neutron a particle that has no electric charge and is located in an atom's nucleus
nucleus the central region of an atom where most of the atom's mass is found in protons and neutrons
The nucleus is held together by the • "strong nuclear force." • This force between • the protons and neutrons • overcomes the electrical force of repelling that would push • the positively charged protons apart.
electron • a negatively charged particle located outside an atom's nucleus • about 2000 times smaller than either a proton or neutron
SUBATOMIC PARTICLES Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and exist in the "nucleus," which is the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge, and neutrons have no electrical charge. Electrons are extremely lightweight and are negatively charged. They exist in a cloud that surrounds the atom.
ELECTRON SHELLS Electrons spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. Electrons spin around the atom in pathways called orbitals or shells.
ELECTRON SHELLS The innermost shell (or lowest energy level) is filled first, and each succeeding shell can only hold a certain number of electrons before it becomes full. a carbon atom's two electron shells
atomic number the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
atomic mass number the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus
isotope an atom of one element that has a different number of neutrons than another atom of the same element
isotope ATOMIC NUMBER ATOMIC MASS NUMBER
isotope EXAMPLES In this figure, the YELLOW particles are orbital electrons, the BLUE particles are neutrons and the RED particles are protons.
ion • an atom or group of atoms • that has a positive or negative • electric charge • forms by atoms • gaining or losing • electrons
NEUTRAL ATOM In a neutral atom (without an electric charge), the number of protons (positive charge) and the number of electrons (negative charge) are… EQUAL
ion A POSITIVE ION is formed when an atom loses electrons (negative charges). Na+ = sodium loses 1 electron Ca2+ = calcium loses 2 electrons
ion A NEGATIVE ION is formed when an atom gains electrons (negative charges). Cl-= chlorine gains 1 electron O2-= oxygen gains 2 electrons
ion When an ion (a charged atom) is formed, the number of protons does not change.
