Chemistry C1
  1. Fundamental Ideas
    1. Atoms Elements and Compounds
      1. All substances are made from atoms
        1. Element- Made from one type on atom
          1. Chemical symbols represent atoms
            1. Compound- Made from more than one element
            2. Atomic Structure
              1. Nucleus made up of protons and neutrons
                1. Charge
                  1. Protons- Positive Neutrons- Neutral Electrons- Negative
                    1. Atoms have overall chrrge of 0
                    2. Atomic number is equal to the number of protons
                      1. Elements arranged on periodic table in order of proton number
                      2. Mass number is sum of protons and neutrons
                        1. So, Mass Number - Atomic Number = Number of Neutrons

                                1. Electrons fill from shell one first
                                2. Elements in the same group have same number of electrons in their outer shell
