An atom is smallest particle in an element that has the properties of the element. It is not possible to breakdown the atom further retaining the properties of the element. Atoms are not visible to the naked eye and are the basic building blocks. For example the atoms of element gold cannot be broken...
HISTORY OF THE ATOM The history is clear that the atom has many things to do with the world. It is what we see and touch everyday... a very stange thing. We could relate this to many other strange things in life like the electron or the proton which are parts of the atom. The atom was discovered...
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. They make up many elements that are common among living things. The atom depicted in the picture is beryllium according to the Periodic Table. It is beryllium because in the top right hand corner of the beryllium box in the Periodic Table there is the number...
Chapter 5 Electrons In Atoms Section 1 Key concepts Rutherford’s atomic model could not explain the chemical properties of elements. Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbit, around the nucleus. The quantum mechanical model determines the allowed energies...
Energy levels are defined as the fixed energy value that an electron in an atom may have. Inside an atom, the electron may only occupy certain positions with a very definite radius from the nucleus. These locations are known as energy levels/orbits/shells. An electron occupying one of these energy levels...

Making the Bombs With the help of Canada and the United Kingdom, the United States ran the top secret “Manhattan Project.” This was the development...
The quantum theory of the atom explains the eight electrons as a closed shell with an s2p6 electron configuration. A closed-shell configuration is one in which low-lying energy levels are full and higher energy levels are empty. For example the neon atom ground state has a full n=2 shell (2s2 2p6) and...

created that everything in the world needs. The one thing everything in the world needs is atoms. These atoms have an atomic number which is the amount of protons in the atomic nucleus which determines the element. Atoms also have charges which is an electrical property which causes opposite charges to attract...
BONDING 1. Definition: a chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons (with paired spins) between two or more non-metals atoms. Covalent bonds are typically formed between two or more non-metals in molecules and giant covalent structures. The strength of the bond stems from...
Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding characterized by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons, by two atoms, in order to produce a mutual attraction. The atoms tend to share electrons, so as to fill their outer electron shells. Such bonds are always stronger than the intermolecular...
Rutherford’s atomic model By 1911 the components of the atom had been discovered. The atom consisted of subatomic particles called protons and electrons. However, it was not clear how these protons and electrons were arranged within the atom. J.J. Thomson suggested the"plum pudding" model. In this model...

Impurities are divided into two broad categories: Donors and Acceptors. A donor is an impurity atom that has more electrons in its outermost shell that is necessary...
particles called atoms. Atoms are the smallest particles in an element, as they cannot be split by chemical means. An element is a substance that contains only one type of atom, so it cannot be converted into more chemical means. Some elements are composed of a mixture of closely related atoms called isotopes...

Fission is a chemistry and physics based reaction that helps atom split apart. Nuclear Fission of heavy elements was discovered in 1938 by Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann, and Otto Robert Frisch (Harris 1). In this process the atom of an element splits up, leaving behind protons and neutrons...
An atom of carbon can have 6, 7, or 8 neutrons. It doesn't matter, we will still call it 'carbon.' If a carbon atom has 6 neutrons, its Mass Number is 12. (6 protons + 6 neutrons) If a carbon atom has 7 neutrons, its Mass Number is 13. (6 protons + 7 neutrons) You try: If a nitrogen atom has...
scientific theory of the nature of matter, which states that matter is composed of units called atoms. However this theory was not just composed by itself. There were many contributors into the finding of how atoms work and explanations. For example, John Dalton (6 September 1766 – 27 July 1844),who...

deduced from the fact that non- polar substances can be liquified and solidified. This suggests that there are forces of attraction between the atoms and molecules of non-polar elements, as energy is required to transform the non- polar elements between their various states, suggesting some force...
John Dalton was born on September 6th 1776 in England. Dalton became intrested in atoms and such because he was previously involved in the study of meteorology. The day and date of his birth as his family never recorded it properly in the family bible (the way it was done in those days) so nobody for...

An ionic bond is an electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or groups of atoms. Normally, atoms are neutral and have no charge. However, in order to gain stability they will sacrifice their neutrality by either losing one or more of its outermost electrons thus becoming a positive...

Physical Science Nuclear Decay: Alpha and Beta Particles Introduction There are over 100 different types of atoms. Some of these atoms are very unstable. Over time, the nucleus of an unstable atom will lose energy by emitting various particles spontaneously. This process is called nuclear decay. There...
Uranium-235 and Uranium-238. Uranium atoms, and the rest of the elements that are represented on the periodic table, are all composed of atoms. Atoms are tiny building blocks of everything we know of that exists on Earth and the universe that we know of today. These atoms are made up of three particles known...
Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of energy from unstable atoms. Atoms are found in all natural matter. There are stable atoms, which remain the same forever, and unstable atoms, which break down or 'decay' into new atoms. These unstable atoms are said to be 'radioactive', because they emit radioactivity...
Nuclear science is the study of the atomic world. In nuclear science, the word 'nuclear' means 'of or relating to or constituting the nucleus of an atom'. Atoms are the fundamental constituents of everything around us, and we ourselves are entirely composed of them. This means that nuclear science is...
