Study Notes
Atoms and Particles
- An atom is the fundamental unit of matter, comprising protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
- Neutrons are neutral particles located in the nucleus and have no charge.
- Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus outside its center.
Molecular Structures
- A molecule consists of two or more atoms connected by covalent bonds.
- A compound is formed when atoms of two or more different elements are chemically bonded.
Changes of State
- Evaporation refers to the transition of a substance from a liquid to a gas state.
- Condensation is the process by which a gas becomes a liquid.
- Sublimation occurs when a solid changes directly to a gas without becoming a liquid.
Atomic Structure
- The nucleus is the core of an atom, containing protons and neutrons.
- The Periodic Table organizes elements according to their properties and atomic numbers.
Effects of Temperature on Atoms
- Heating atoms causes them to spread apart and move faster.
- Cooling atoms makes them slow down and come closer together.
Chemical Symbols
- Each element has a one or two-letter abbreviation, such as:
- Hydrogen: H
