  • ATOMS AND MOLECULES
    • Atom
      • Smallest particle of an element
      • You can split an atom
    • Molecule
      • Non metal chemically bonded
      • atoms joined by covalent bonds
      • Atoms join in fixed ratios and molecules have a specific formula, eg H2O or N2
      • You can have molecules of compounds and molecules of elements
        • Compounds = CH4
        • Molecules = O2
    • Ions
      • An electrically charged particle, formed when an atom or a molecule loses or gains electrons.
        • if atoms or molecules lose electrons = positively charged ion
        • if atoms or molecules gain electrons = negatively charged ion
