12. Particulate Nature of Matter
Atom: smallest part of an element that is still that element (fundamental unit of which elements are composed).
Molecule: Two or more atoms joined and acting as a unit. (element or compound)

13. Atomic Element

14. Molecular Elements

15. Compounds

16. Macroscopic versus Microscopic

17. Chemistry – A Big Idea Atoms have structure.
Subatomic particles – electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Atoms are mostly open space.
Atoms can attract (and repel) one another.

18. Atomic Structure–So What?
Bonds form within molecules.
Molecules are sticky (forces between molecules).
Different reactivities of elements (why is He in Mylar balloons?).
Fireworks.
Pools close during a thunderstorm.

19. Using The Periodic Table
Symbol, name, number of protons (all of these are related).
Number of electrons in a neutral atom or in ion.
Charges for common ions.
Metals and non-metals.
Formulas of some ionic compounds.
Naming simple compounds.
