Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific regions called orbitals.
- Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
- Atoms are neutral when the number of protons (positive charge) equals the number of electrons (negative charge).
Atomic Symbols
- Atomic symbols are one or two-letter abbreviations representing specific elements.
- The first letter of the symbol is always capitalized.
- The second letter, if present, is always lowercase.
- Atomic symbols can be derived from the element's name, and some elements have symbols derived from their Latin names.
