  • C1.1 Fundamentals
    • Atoms
      • Nucleus and Electrons
        • Positive Protons
          • Number of protons determine what the atom is.
        • Neutral Neutrons
        • Negative Electrons
          • Orbit the Nucleus in shells of 2,8,8...
        • Overall neutral charge
      • Ions
        • more/less electrons making them -/+
      • Element
        • Made up of ONLY one type of atom
    • Periodic Table
      • Split into groups of number of electrons in their outer shell
        • E.g. Sodium is in Group One and has one electron in it's outer shell
          • Sodium reacts with water to form an alkaline solution and hydrogen gas
          • Sodium will react with oxygen to form an oxide
        • Groups 1 and 7 are the most reactive
        • Group 0/8 is the least reactive since it has a full outer shell
      • Mass Number
        • Atomic Number
          • Bottom number
          • Number of protons/ electrons b/c they're equal
          • Atomic Number - Mass Number = Number of neutrons
        • Top number
        • Total number of protons and neutrons
        • Atomic Number - Mass Number = Number of neutrons
      • Atomic Number
        • Bottom number
        • Number of protons/ electrons b/c they're equal
    • Bonding
      • Ionic Bonding
        • Metal donates an electron to a non-metal. Opposite charges attract
      • Covalent Bonding
        • Two non-metals share an electron and bond
      • Very hard to separate chemical bonds
    • Reactions
      • Atoms are never made or lost.
        • Mass of reactants = Mass of product(s)
        • Equations must be balanced
