ELEMENTS:
The simplest from of a substance which can’t further be broken down into
simpler from by any chemical means
ATOMS
An atom is the smallest part of an element that can take part in a chemical
change.
Atoms are very small. The diameter of a hydrogen atom is approximately 10-10
m and its weight is 1.67 x 10-27 kg.
Atoms are tiny, but the nucleus of an atom is far tinier. If the diameter of an
atom were size of football stadium. Then the nucleus would be the size of a pea in
the middle.
Alpha-particle:
The nucleus of helium after removal of 2e-
Proton number(z)
Number of protons present in an atom
Nucleon number(A)
The sum of number of protons and neutron
No of neutron = nucleon no – proton no
Practice question
Use the information in the table to deduce the number of electrons and
neutrons in neutral atom of:
Atoms nucleon number Proton number
vanadium 51 23
strontium 84 38
phosphorus 31 15
Atomic number
14 N3- no of electrons gained during reaction
7
Practice question
Find no of electron in HCO3-
answer: 32
ISOTOPES
Atoms of the same element that have different number of neutrons is called
isotopes
Isotopes have small chemical property but different physical property
