Document Summary

Week 1 learning objectives: differentiate between protons, neutrons and electrons, atomic number and atomic mass, and how isotopes relate to these topics. Atomic number- equal to number of protons in an atom. Atomic mass- the number of protons and neutrons in an atom (approx. ) Isotopes- variants of an atom, having a different atomic mass (same # of protons, different # of neutrons: describe how the subatomic particles are arranged in an atom and their relationship to the valence. K shell- inner shell, can hold 2 electrons. L shell- middle shell, can hold 8 electrons. M shell- outer shell, can hold 8 electrons. Valence is the number of electrons that need to be gained or lost in order to fill the outer shell of electrons. Also predicts the number of bonds that an atom will form. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell: differentiate between subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, elements and compounds.
