Document Summary

Method of investigating natural world: scientific method. Observation ask a question form a hypothesis make a prediction from hypothesis test prediction (experiment) use statistics to evaluate significance of results. Basic elements of chemistry: properties depend on structure. Atom: smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element. Nucleus: protons (determine element) and neutrons (determine isotope) Atomic number: number of protons (subscript to left) Atomic mass: number of protons and neutrons (superscript) Electron cloud: electrons form negative cloud and determine chemical behaviors (chemical bonds) Electron shell: an electron"s state of potential energy (further from nucleus more potential energy-more energy absorbed: valence electrons: electrons in outermost shell, formation of molecules. Atoms w/incomplete valence shells share/ transfer valence electrons atoms stay close together, held by chemical bonds. Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds is a molecule. Covalent bond is the strongest bond: types of chemical bonds. Nonpolar covalent: two atoms of the same element, electrons shared equally.
