Study Notes
Atom Structure and Properties
- Removing air from a jar causes marshmallows to expand due to Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
- Heating a marshmallow causes expansion due to Charles' Law, which states that volume and temperature are directly proportional at constant pressure.
- Atoms are the smallest units of matter, composed of subatomic particles, and elements consist of only one type of atom.
- There are 118 natural and synthetic elements, with atoms measuring about 10-10 meters.
- Atoms have an internal structure and are made of subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons.
- Protons are positively charged, have a mass of about one atomic mass unit (amu), and define an atom's atomic number.
- Electrons have a negative charge and participate in chemical reactions, forming ionic or covalent bonds.
- Neutrons are located in the nucleus with protons, have no charge, and contribute to the atomic mass.
- Isotopes are atoms with a different number of neutrons, some of which are stable, while others undergo radioactive decay.
- The periodic table organizes elements by their physical and chemical properties, based on their atomic number and atomic mass.
- The atomic number, element abbreviation, and atomic mass in amu are shown for each element in the periodic table.
- Understanding the behavior of atoms and their subatomic particles is crucial for comprehending their properties and interactions in chemical reactions.
