ATOM

- buildings blocks of
everything
- smallest unit of an
element
MOLECULE

- combinations of two or ore atoms

which are held together by chemical
bonds
- smallest portion of a substance which
showcases all the properties of the
substance
“Atomos” - indivisibility of atom
Atomic Theory of Matter

• Matter is made up of very small, invisible,

and indivisible particles called ATOM.
• Atom of the same element have the same
properties.
• Atoms cannot be created nor destroyed.
• Atoms combine with each other in whole
number ratios to produce compound.

ELEMENTS

- a basic part of a whole.

- it refers to a simple substance that
cannot be broken down into smaller
parts or changed into another substance.
ELEMENTS
-elements are pure substance
- made of only one kind of material, it
has properties, and is the same all
throuhout.
-they cannot be broken down into
simpler substance without losing their
identity.
COMPOUNDS
- pure substance made up of more
than one element.
- two or more elements chemically
combined.

Ex: NaCl, H2o

Periodic Table of Elements
Dmitri Mendeleev
 Non-Metals
- poor conductor of heat and
electricity.
- not ductile or malleable.
- dull
- many non-metals are gases.
 Metals
- good conductors of heat and
electricity.
- shiny
- metals are ductile (streched)
- a chemical property of metal is its
reaction with water which results in
corrosion.
 Mettaloids
- metal-like have properties of both
metals and non-metals.
- they are solids that can be shiny or
dull.
- they conduct heat and electricity better
than non-metals
Periodic Table

- show all known elements in the

universe.
- organizes the elements by chemical
properties.
How do you read the periodic table
 Atomic Number
- the number of protons found in the
nucleus of an atom
- number of electrons surrounding the
nucleus of an atom
Atomic Weight

- number of protons and neutrons in the

nucleus of an atom.
Symbol
# of protons = atomic number
# of electrons = atomic number
# of neutrons = atomic weight -
atomic number
