Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Classification of Matter
- Elements have unique atoms, the smallest unit of an element.
- Periods represent the number of orbitals in an atom. Period 1 has 1 orbital.
- Group IA elements have 1 valence electron in their outermost shell.
- Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.
Matter Classifications
- Matter is classified into substances and mixtures.
- Substances are further divided into elements and compounds.
- Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
- Specific examples of substance types include acids, bases, and salts.
- Elements can be metals, non-metals, or metalloids.
Atomic Particles
- Atoms consist of protons (+), neutrons (+/-), and electrons (-).
