Document Summary

Chapter 1: atoms, chemical bonds that create molecules, chemical forces that promote molecular interactions, importance of h2o (physical and chemical properties) Atoms: smallest units of matter that form all chemical substances. Each specific type of atom is a chemical element. Each atom contains 3 subatomic particles: protons positive, found in nucleus, same # as electrons, neutrons neutral, found in nucleus, # can vary, electrons negative, found in orbitals, same # as protons. Atomic nucleus- center of the atom where protons and neutrons are confined. Orbitals: areas in which finding an electron is high. Atoms with more than 2 electrons have more than 1 orbital. Orbitals occupy energy shells that are associated with energy levels. Atoms with progressively more electrons have orbitals with in electron shells. Are at a greater distance from the center of the nucleus. 1st shell is 1 spherical orbital (1s) which hold 2 electrons. 2nd shell is 1 spherical orbital (2s) and 3 dumbbell-shaped orbitals (2p)
