  1. The Nature of Matter Section 2.1

  2. Atoms • Atom—the basic unit of matter • Atoms are made up of three parts 1. protons—positively charged particles (+) 2. neutrons—carry no charge (0) 3. electrons—negatively charged particles (-) • Nucleus—contains both the proton and neutron • Electrons are in constant motion in the space surrounding the nucleus • Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons

  3. Elements and Isotopes • Element—pure substance that consists of one type of atom • Represented by a one- or two-letter symbol • Symbol for Oxygen=O • Atomic number for Oxygen is 8 • Atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus • The atomic number for an element will not change

  4. Isotopes • Isotope—atoms of the same element that contain a different number of neutrons • Mass number—sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

  5. Chemical Compounds • Chemical compound—chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions. • Water contains two atoms of hydrogen for each atom of oxygen • Chemical formula is H2O • Physical and chemical properties of individual elements are different from those of the compound that they form • NaCl

  6. Chemical Bonds • Atoms in compounds are held together by chemical bond • Bond formation involves the electrons that surround each atomic nucleus • Main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds

  7. Ionic Bonds • Ionic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another • An atom that loses electrons has a positive charge • An atom that gains electrons has a negative charge • Ion—positively or negatively charged atoms

  8. Covalent Bond • Covalent bond—forms when electrons are shared between atoms • Molecule—formed when atoms are joined together by covalent bonds • A molecule is the smallest unit of most compounds
