    CHAPTER ANALYSIS
    5 KEY CONCEPTS
    • Describe an atom as an electrically neutral entity made up of a positively charged nucleus (protons and neutrons) with
    negatively charged electrons moving around the nucleus

    • Compare the relative size of an atom to other objects

    • Show an awareness that atoms of an element have a unique number of protons

    • Recognise that atoms have mass that is contributed by the mass of the nucleus

    • Show an understanding that a molecule is a group of two or more atoms chemically combined together

    2 ADVANCED CONCEPTS
    • Compare atoms and molecules

    • State the number and types of atoms, given the chemical formula of a compound

    KEY CONCEPT

    ATOMS &
    MOLECULES

    ATOMS
    Definition: An atom is the smallest unit of an element

    Representation of atoms

    Small Circles (w
    Symbol
    spheres symbol)

    Hydrogen H H
    Hydrogen

    MOLECULES
    Definition: A molecule is a group of two or more atoms chemically joined
    together

    Representation of molecules
    We use the chemical formula of molecules instead of just symbols
    • The chemical formula of a molecule shows the number and types of
    atoms contained in it

    Non-metal element Compound


    Chemical formula for a molecule of Chemical formula for a molecule of
    chlorine is Cl2 water is H2O

    ATOMS & Cl2 H2O

    MOLECULES • Cl is the symbol of a chlorine atom


    • 2 tells us that there are 2 chlorine
    atoms in a chlorine molecule
    • Water is made up of H (hydrogen)
    and O (oxygen)
    • 2 tells us that there are 2 hydrogen
    atoms in a water molecule

    MODEL OF AN ATOM

    Proton
    • Positive charge
    • Relative mass: 1

    Neutron
    • Same mass as proton
    • No charge (neutral)

    Electron
    • Negative charge
    The nucleus of an atom contains • Relative mass: 1/1836 of
    protons & neutrons (equal number) proton/neutron mass

    Differences between atoms

    COMPOSITION OF Proton (atomic) number

    ATOMS The proton number of an element refers to the number of protons


    that atom has.
