Proton and Neutron combine to form the nucleus in the center of the atom while the electrons move around the nucleus
Atomic number - number of protons
Number of protons is always equal to number of electrons. Since the positively charge is equal to negative charge the charge of an atom is neutral.
gain or lose electrons to form a charged particle called Ion
Mass number - total number of protons and neutrons
Mass number is the weight of the atom in atomic mass unit or AMU
Isotopes - same atomic number and different mass number
Commons isotopes is Uranium used in Nuclear reaction
Electrons move about the nucleus along the Shells or Energy Levels
Principal Quantum Numbers - denoted by n, coefficient of subshells or Energy Level of an electron
Azimuthal Quantum Numbers - denoted by p, shapes of orbital, number of nodes.
Magnetic Quantum Numbers - denoted by Mp, angular momentum corresponding to the orbital along a given axis.
Electron Spin Quantum Numbers - denoted by Ms, direction of the spin
Chemistry -A branch of science that deals with the composition and structure of materials and the changes they undergo.
Matter - Anything that occuipies space and has mass
Element - Substance that cannon be broken down or separated into simpler substance by chemical reaction.
Compound - Composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions.
Mixtures - A composition of two or more substance
Homogeneous Mixtures - uniform, hard to distinguish
Heterogeneous Mixture - composition varies, easy to distinguish
Substance - A form of matter that has definite composition and distinct properties
Solid - Compact and has definite shape
Liquid - Accepts the shape of its container in which it is held
Gas - Expands to occupy the volume of its container
Pure Substances - cannot be seperated into other kinds of matter by any physical means
Plasma - hot gas that carry electrical charge
Bose-Einstein Condensate - subatomic particles cooled near to absolute zero
Nucleus - surrounded by a disperse cloud of electrons
Ionic bonding - transferring of electrons, one substance loses and electrons to become cations
Covalent bonding - electrons shared in pairs
In Periodic Table horizontal rows called Periods, Vertical rows called Groups
Pauli's Exclusion Principle - no two electrons can share the same combination / occupy a single orbital
Hund's Rule - Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied. Place up spin direction before pairing individual orbitals
Sharp (s), Principal (p) diffuse (d) Fundamental (f)
Aufbau's Principle - suggest the order of occupancy of sublevels
Electronic Configuration - shows the distribution of the electrons of an atom
Electron Dot - distribution of valence electrons of an element
