Study Notes
Atomic Structure of Matter
- Atoms are the smallest building units of matter.
- Atoms are made up of a nucleus and electrons that revolve around it at high speed.
Atomic Construction
- Atoms consist of two main parts:
- Nucleus (found in the core, with a positive charge and mass)
- Electrons (revolve around the nucleus with a negative charge)
Expressing an Atom of Any Element
- Atomic number: represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
- Mass number: represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
Electron Movement
- Electrons move around the nucleus in energy levels
- The movement of electrons around the nucleus is related to energy levels
