|
Atom (definition) |
Smallest amount of element |
|
|
Element (definition) |
Substance that cannot be broken down to a simpler substance |
|
|
Element (note) |
Unique # of protons Atomic # = # of protons |
|
|
If no charge on an atom then: |
# of electrons = # of protons |
|
|
Ion (definition) |
Charged Atom |
|
|
Ionic Bond (definition) |
Positive bonds negative |
|
|
Neutrons can vary - Identify the Neutrons in this: C 6/12 |
Weight-12 (always on bottom) minus Atomic # or # of Protons-6 (always on top) = Neutrons-6 |
|
