Parts of an Atom

What is an atom? Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all things Atoms are the most basic unit of matter Atoms contain three different types of subatomic particles

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons -Protons: particles with a positive charge; can be found in the nucleus -Neutrons: particles with no charge (a neutral charge); can be found in the nucleus -Electrons: particles with a negative charge that can be found orbiting the nucleus in the electron cloud

The atomic number equals the number of protons. The electrons in a neutral atom equal the number of protons. The mass number equals the sum of the protons and neutrons.

Where are electrons found? Electrons exist in orbitals or energy levels 2 electrons fit in the first energy level 8 electrons fit in each subsequent energy level 2 neutrons 2 protons 2 electrons 6 neutrons 6 protons 6 electrons 2 in first level, 4 in second Helium (He) Carbon (C)

The charge indicates the number of electrons that have been lost or gained. A positive charge indicates the number of electrons (which are negatively charged) that have been lost. A negative charge indicates the number of electrons that have been gained. This structure can be written as part of a chemical symbol.

A chemical element is a pure substance that consists entirely of one type of atom. Elements are mapped on the periodic table.

Do all atoms of the same element always have the same number of neutrons? Answer: NO Atoms of the same element with differing numbers of neutrons are called isotopes

The combinations of two or more elements in definite proportions form a chemical compound. Naming compounds (molecular formulae): H 2 0 = 2 parts hydrogen to 1 part oxygen

The physical and chemical properties of a compound are usually very different from those of the elements from which it is formed. Example: – Sodium is a silverish metal – Chlorine is a greenish gas – Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is table salt

Atoms in compounds are bonded together by chemical bonds. 2 types: Ionic, Covalent

Ionic bonds are formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another Example: Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms A molecule is the structure that results when atoms join together by covalent bonding Example: Water (H 2 O)

Van der Waals Forces When molecules are close together, the oppositely charged regions are attracted to each other. Van der Waals Forces are the slight forces of attraction These forces explain why a gecko can climb up vertical surfaces (suction cup like forces)
