Basic ChemistryBasic Chemistry• Atom: Smallest part of an

element. Can’t be broken down any further (maybe!).

• Nucleus - has protons (+ve) and neutrons (no charge)

• Orbitals - have electrons (-ve)

• # of protons = # of electrons. This makes the atom have no net charge (atom is neutral)

• Atomic Number = # of protons Ex. Atomic Number of Fe (Iron) is 26•Atomic Weight= # of protons + # of neutrons Ex: Atomic Weight of Fe (iron) is 26 + 30 = 56•Can you calculate number of neutrons if Atomic Weight and Atomic Number is known?•# of Neutrons = Atomic Weight- Atomic Number

Atomic Weight

Atomic Number

• Element is Carbon• Atomic Number = 6• This means number of protons = 6• Also, number of electrons = 6• Mass Number = 12 = (Atomic Weight)• Number of Neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6

• Element: substance composed of one kind of atom & can not be broken down by normal chemical means.

• Ion: an atom that has gained or lost electrons, giving it a positive or negative charge.

Gold Ion has lost an Electron

Salt is Sodium ChlorideSalt is Sodium ChlorideSodium (Na) atom Chlorine (Cl) atom

SALT is NaCl

Note: NaCl is a compound - has 2 elements

• Isotope: a form of atom having the same atomic number but a different atomic weight

Example

Radioactive Isotope

Number of Neutrons will be different in ISOTOPES!

Molecules and compoundsMolecules and compounds• A compound

– Combination of two or more elements– Combined “chemically”– Has definite proportions

• A molecule– Smallest part of most compounds– Hard to break up into element that

make it O2
