Chemistry Chemistry is the study of interactions between atoms and molecules. The atom is the smallest unit of matter that enters into chemical reactions. Atoms interact to form molecules
Chemistry • Chemistry is the study of interactions between atoms and molecules. • The atom is the smallest unit of matter that enters into chemical reactions. • Atoms interact to form molecules
The Study of Atoms Atoms are composed of Electrons:negatively charged particles Protons:positively charged particles Neutrons:uncharged particles
Atoms are composed of • Electrons: negatively charged particles • Protons: positively charged particles • Neutrons: uncharged particles The Study of Atoms
The Study of Atoms Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus. Electrons move around the nucleus. Electron shells Proton (p*) Nucleus Neutron(n) Electron(e)- Figure 2.1

Chemical Elements Each chemical element has a different number of protons. Isotopes of an element are atoms with different numbers of neutrons.Isotopes of oxygen are: O 0
• Each chemical element has a different number of protons. • Isotopes of an element are atoms with different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of oxygen are: Chemical Elements 16 8O 17 8O 18 8O
