Document Summary

Atoms: can not be broken down into other substances by chemical reactions. Compounds: substances consisting of 2 or more elements combined in a. Alternative form of an element that differs in number of neutrons, & therefore their mass. C12 (most abundant) c13 ( <1% ) c14 ( <1%) (radioactive) Atom is unstable, nucleus breaks down emitting particles and/or energy. * nuclear breakdown converts atom into another isotope or into a different element all together* Radioactive breakdown occurs at a rate proportional to its quantity. Amount of time it takes for half of the atoms to break down. Electrons t into orbitals, holding a maximum of 2 electrons on the inner and a max of 8 on the outer. * an atom achieves greatest stability (= lowest energy) when the outer electoral shell is completely. Electron pair shared between atoms, forming a molecule.
