  • Atoms, Elements, The Periodic Table & Compounds
    • Atoms & Elements
      • middle of the atom = protons and neutrons.
      • protons = +1   electrons = -1 neutrons = 0
      • electrons move around the nucleus in shells
      • if electrons are added/removed then becomes an ion.
      • number of protons = number of nuetrons
      • if substance contains one type of element then atom.
    • Compounds
      • ionic bonding = when a metal and nonmetal bond. Consists of ions, metal loses and non-metal gains. opposite charges attract
      • when elements rect they form chemical bonds and become compounds
      • bonding involves giving/taking/ssharing electrons
      • covalent bonding = nonmetals, molecules, share electrons, fill each others outer shell.
    • Electron Shells
      • 2,8,8
      • lowest filled first
      • electrons occupy shells
      • much more stable if have a full outer shell
      • mostly not full, so atom wants to react/bond and fill it.
    • The Periodic Table
      • mass number = number of protons and neutrons.
      • atomic number = number of protons
      • elements with similar properties form groups, columns
      • same group = same number of electrons on outer shell
      • full outer shell = unreactive and stable.
