1. Atoms vs. Molecules Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms. Atom: smallest part of an element that is still that element. Molecule: Two or more atoms joined and acting as a unit. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

2. Oxygen and Hydrogen Molecules Use subscripts when more than one atom is in the molecule. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

3. A Chemical Reaction One substance changes to another by reorganizing the way the atoms are attached to each other. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved

4. Atomic Theory Atoms are building blocks of elements Similar atoms in each element Different from atoms of other elements Two or more different atoms bond in simple ratios to form compounds 4

16. Isotopes Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Show almost identical chemical properties; chemistry of atom is due to its electrons. In nature most elements contain mixtures of isotopes. Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved16

17. Atomic Mass and Isotopes While most atoms have the same number of protons and neutrons, some don’t. Some atoms have more or less neutrons than protons. These are called isotopes. An atomic mass number with a decimal is the total of the number of protons plus the average number of neutrons.
