1. All substances are made from atoms. 2. There are about 100 different types of

atoms3. An element is a substance which

contains only one type of atom

1. Atoms have a small central nucleus containing protons and neutrons

2. Electrons orbit the nucleus3. Protons, neutrons and electrons have

different masses and charges

Atomic Structure

1. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus

2. In an atom, the number of electrons always equals the number of protons

3. Atoms do not have an overall electrical charge

Atomic Number

1. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom

2. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number

Calculations

1. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons (e.g. carbon-12 and carbon-14)

2. Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers

Isotopes

1. Each electron in an atom is at a particular energy level (or shell)

2. Electrons fill the lowest energy levels first (nearest to the nucleus)

3. The first shell can take a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can take 8, and the third shell can take 8
