      • Different atoms can  bond together by giving, taking or sharing electrons, to form compounds
    • The electrons   move around the nucleus         they are negatively charged
      • Electron shell the lowest energy levels are always filled up first these are the ones closest to the nucleus 1st shell - 2  2nd shell - 8 3rd shell - 8
    • An element is a pure substance that cannot be split up into simpler substances
