Resource summary

Chemistry
  1. Atoms, Compounds and Isotopes
    1. The mass number - total number of protons and neutrons.
      1. Atoms of the same element all have the same number of protons - so atoms of different elements will have different numbers of protons.
      2. The atomic number - number of protons
        1. The atomic number tells you how many protons there are.
        2. To get the number of neutrons , just subtract the atomic number from the mass. electrons arent counted in the mass number because their relative mass is very small.
          1. Isotopes are : different atomic forms of the same element , which have the same number of protons but a different number neutrons.
          2. Compounds are formed when atoms of two or more elemements are chemically combined together.For example , carbon dioxide is a compound formed from a chemical reaction between carbon and oxygen.
            1. Its difficult to seperate the two original elements out again.
          3. Ionic Bonding
            1. In ionic bonding , atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged particles ( called ions ) which are then strongly attracted to another ( because of the attraction of opposite charges, + and - ).
              1. All the atoms over the left hand side of the periodic table, e.g. sodium, potassium , calcium etc. have just one or two electrons in their outer shell ( highest energy level ) . They try to have the same electronic structure as a noble gas. So given half the chance they do get rid , and that leaves the atom as an ion instead.
                1. On the other hand of the periodic table , the elements group 6 and 7 , such as oxygen and chlorine, have outer shells which are nearly full. The sodium gives up its outer electron and becomes an Na+ ion. The chlorine atom has picked up the spare electron and becomes a cl- ion.
                2. Ions and Formulas
                  1. Electrical structure of ions
                    1. Covalent Bonds
                      1. Metallic structures
