Resource summary

Atoms
  1. Structure
    1. Particles
      1. Electrons

        Annotations:

        • Negative charge
        • Number of electrons = number of protons 
        1. Protons

          Annotations:

          • Positive charge 
          • Number of protons = number of electrons 
          • Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom 
          • Atomic mass is the total weight of the atom (the number of protons + number of neutrons) 
          1. Neutrons

            Annotations:

            • No charge 
            • Atomic mass is the total weight of the atom (number of protons + number of neutrons)
          2. Nucleus

            Annotations:

            • Center of the atom that contains protons & neutrons 
            1. Orbital

              Annotations:

              • Space where electrons reside 
              • Innermost shell holds up to 2 electrons, any shell beyond that can hold up to 8 
              • The outermost shell is known as the valence shell 
            2. How they interact
              1. Electron sharing bonds
                1. Covalent bond

                  Annotations:

                  • Electrons can be shared equally or unequally depending on an atom's electronegativity 
                  • Strongest bond 
                  • Oxygen has the highest electronegativity, followed by nitrogen, with carbon and hydrogen being the least electronegative respectively. 
                  1. Polar

                    Annotations:

                    • Electrons are shared unequally 
                    1. Nonpolar

                      Annotations:

                      • Electrons are shared equally 
                  2. Bonds due to attraction of charge
                    1. Ionic bonds

                      Annotations:

                      • Two ionic atoms interacting 
                      • Strongest charge based bond 
                      1. Hydrogen bonds

                        Annotations:

                        • When hydrogen is in a polar covalent bond, it becomes lightly charged. This partial positive charged end on hydrogen interacts with a negatively charged atom to form a hydrogen bond 
                        1. Vanderwaal's interactions

                          Annotations:

                          • Electrons end up stacked on one side of an atom, resulting in a quick & temporary charge 
                      2. Variations
                        1. Ions

                          Annotations:

                          • Gain or loss of electrons that forms a charged atom 
                          1. Cation

                            Annotations:

                            • Positive charge
                            1. Anion

                              Annotations:

                              • Negative charge 
                            2. Isotope

                              Annotations:

                              • Alteration in the number of neutrons in the nucleus that makes the nucleus unstable 
                            3. How they are represented
