What is an Atom?
* Atoms make up everything
*Atoms are the smallest particle (thing)
anything can be divided / broken down into
* Atoms are the “Building Blocks” of all things
Remember: Atoms can’t be broken down into smaller
things!!
However…
Each atom is made up of a combination of 3 particles:
1. Protons
2. Neutrons
3. Electrons
WARNING: Attempting to
break down atoms into
smaller particles (Protons,
Neutrons, and Electrons)
may result in HUGE
release of energy!!
Click to see!!
Splitting an individual atom is not
a real good idea!!
-Atoms are super, super, super….. SMALL!
* 1 Penny is made of 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
atoms!!
-So, don’t worry about splitting one with your knife
at home and blowing up your house!
COMBINING ATOMS TOGETHER
FORMS…….
* Pure Substances that cannot be separated into
simpler substances by physical or chemical means.
Pure Substance – is a substance made of only one
type of atom
FOR EXAMPLE…..
The Million $$ Question: HOW DO YOU MAKE GOLD??
SORRY!!!
Gold is 1 of only 118 Elements
**You can’t make gold!!**
Nor can you make any of the other 117 elements
Because you can’t put a couple of different things together to
make gold, or any other element
Gold is a Pure Substance - made of only 1 type of particle
(those particles being gold atoms!!)
Gold is gold. You can’t make it. It’s made of gold. Gold was
just here naturally when we got here!!!
These are the only elements found on earth. They are
all pure substances. You cannot make any of them.
They are all just here naturally! (Ag - above is the
symbol for Gold)
Here’s how it all
works together!!
Atoms are put together to make
Elements and Elements are put
together to make….
* Compounds are pure substances
made up of 2 or more elements that are
chemically combined
- Water is a good example!!
- Water is a common compound
- Water is made up of 2 different
elements
1. Hydrogen (H)
REMEMBER: Compounds are pure
substances made up of 2 or more elements
that are chemically combined!
2. Oxygen (O)
* Take a look around you *
Most of the things around you are compounds.
They are made up of a combination of different
elements. Remember – there are only 118 total
elements, but MILLIONS and MILLIONS of
compounds!
Compounds are chemically combined elements:
That means the elements that are combined
have changed into a new substance when put
together.
For Example: WATER (H2O)
Is made up of Hydrogen (which is a gas by itself)
and Oxygen (which is also a gas by itself).
However, when put next to each other, they
chemically combine and form a liquid (a new
substance)

the Same Atoms
Ex. Oxygen, Helium,

Elements
Ex. Water (H2O)

Arrangement of the
Periodic Table
* Elements are arranged on the Periodic Table by increasing
Atomic Number
- ATOMIC NUMBER: The # of Protons in each
atom of that particular element

Parts of Atoms
Atoms are made up of 3 particles. Do you
remember what they are??? If not….click here
Protons
Neutrons
Charge: Positive (+)
Charge: None (neutral) Charge: Negative (-)
Location: Nucleus
Location: Energy
Rings – (around
Indicated By: Mass
Number - which is total nucleus)
of protons and
Indicated By: Atomic
neutrons in nucleus
Number
Location: Nucleus
Indicated By: Atomic #
Electrons
- Refers to size of that particular elements atoms
- Is the average TOTAL # OF PROTONS + NEUTRONS
- A.K.A Mass Number
(Atomic Mass)
Carbon for example has
6 protons and 6 neutrons
for a total of 12!
Energy Level Rings
Let’s Take a Closer Look!!
* Contain Electrons
Ring 1 (closest to nucleus)
can hold 2 electrons
Nucleus
Ring 2 = 8 Electrons
* Contains Protons
Ring 3 = 8 Electrons
and Neutrons
Ring 4 = 18 Electrons
Ring 5 = 32 Electrons
Ring 6 = 64 Electrons
Facts / Rules about ALL Atoms
1. Atoms have no overall charge
a. They have Protons which have a positive
charge (+)
(like the positive end of a magnet or
battery)
b. They have Electrons which have a
negative charge (-)
However, they ALWAYS have the same number of
protons and electrons!!! So, the charges cancel out and
the atom as a whole, has no charge.
* It works just like adding negative and positive
numbers: -3 + 3 = 0
2. The first energy level must be full of electrons
(2) before filling the 2nd energy level (8) before
filling the 3rd energy level (8) etc.
Click Here if you
would like to reexamine
Look at 1 Atom of the Element Carbon
Atomic Number =
6
(So, carbon atoms have 6 protons and 6 electrons)
Atomic Mass = 12
(So, carbon atoms have a TOTAL of 12 Protons and Neutrons
*Remember we already have 6 Protons, so we need to add in 6 Neutrons)

Compounds
Why do elements combine in a certain ratio?
For Example – Why is Water H 2O and not H 3O or H 4O etc ?
Because all elements want to be
happy!!!
And just like you and I, we aren’t happy
unless we are full!!
What I mean is that elements want their outer
energy level ring to be full of electrons.
Why is Water (H O)?

You have to look at each element individually to understand!

Remember, atoms want their outer energy level filled!
The Hydrogen atoms want to gain 1 electron each, to
fill their outer level. The Oxygen wants to gain 2
electrons to fill it’s outer level. So…..the 3 of them
decide to share!
The Compound Water: H 2O
Oxygen
Hydrogen and Oxygen
share some of their
electrons! ( )
* Count the electrons in
the outer ring on all 3Are they full now?
YES!!!!
All 3 are Full and
All 3 are Happy!!
Hydrogen

The Compound Table Salt : Sodium
Chloride (NaCl)

Na
23.00
Sodium atoms have an extra electron to get rid of.
Chlorine atoms want 1 electron. So, Sodium gives
the extra one to Chlorine. Now they are both happy.
Their outer levels are full!!

Facts about compounds!!
1. Group 1 elements combine with group 17 elements
because group 1 elements want to lose 1 electron and
group 17 elements want to gain 1 electron Ex. NaCl
(Table Salt)
* Group 2 combine with Group 16 etc. for the same
reason
2. Compounds form 2 ways:
A. Elements share electrons in order to become full
(Water-H2O)
B. Elements exchange electrons in order to become
full (Table Salt-NaCl)
