Study Notes
Structure of the Atom
- Matter: Anything comprised of mass and volume
- Proton: Subatomic particle with a positive charge equal in magnitude to the electron, but opposite in sign.
- Fertilizers: Chemical compounds used to enhance agricultural production
- John Dalton: Proposed the first scientific theory about atoms, stating that they are indivisible.
- The smallest subatomic particle in terms of mass is the electron, which has very little mass.
- Phosphorus is essential for plant root growth, while nitrogen is essential for healthy plant growth.
- C is carbon’s chemical symbol, Cl is chlorine’s chemical symbol
- The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to positively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons.
Atom Mass
- The majority of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus.
- The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, giving it a positive charge.
Atomic Symbol
- The chemical symbol for sodium is Na, not So, as expected.
- This difference arises from the Latin origin of the element's name, "natrium."
