How do we annotate texts in Chemistry?
Symbols for Annotation In chemistry, anytime you are reading a text, you should use the following symbols ? = Question I Have = Vocab. Word I Know = Vocab. Word I Don’t Know ! = Important Fact/Info = Connection to Other Material
Mercury Poisoning Reading Complete the reading with your table You must answer all questions

Lecture 1.1 – Introduction to the Atom
Today’s Learning Target LT 1.1 – I can identify the size, location, and mass of the three subatomic particles found in the atom.
How do chemists characterize the atom?
I. Size of the Atom The atom has a diameter between 0.1 – 0.5 nm Point of reference: A basketball has a diameter of 234,500,000 nm
II. Three Types of Subatomic Particles All atoms contain the following subatomic particles: 1.Protons 2.Neutrons 3.Electrons
III. Protons Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is located in the center of the atom. Protons have a positive charge. We say that their charge is +1
IV. Neutrons Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons do not have a charge. They are neutral James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932!
V. Mass of Protons and Neutrons Protons and neutrons have the same mass. Each subatomic particle has a mass of 1 amu. – amu = atomic mass unit
VI. Electrons Electrons are found in the electron cloud. The electron cloud surrounds the nucleus of an atom. Electrons have a -1 charge
VII. Mass of Electrons Electrons have a mass that is amu. Electrons do not contribute to the weight of an atom.
