Document Summary

Based on the principles of chemistry and physics. All living organisms are a collection of atoms and molecules. All life forms composed of matter: anything that contains mass and occupies space. Smallest functional units of matter that form all chemical substances. Cannot be further broken down into other substances by ordinary chemical or physical means. Each specific type of atom is a chemical element: atoms are the most basic unit of elements. Three subatomic particles: protons- positive, found in nucleus, same number as electrons, neutrons- neutral, found in nucleus, number can vary, electrons- negative, found in orbitals, same number as protons. Scientists initially visualized an atom as a mini solar system: this is oversimplified but a convenient image. Electrons travel within regions surrounding the nucleus (orbitals) in which the probability is high of finding that electron. Orbitals s orbitals are spherical p orbitals are propeller or dumbbell shaped.
