Atoms, Elements, Compounds, and Ions

• Atom
• basic building block of all matter

• Element
• Substance that consists of only one type of atom.
  
• Molecule has two different atoms.

• Compound
• substance that consists of more than one type of
• element.

• Ion
• substance that has a positive or negative charge

2
Atoms
Atoms have

• A nucleus
• small, heavy part of the atom

• An electron cloud
• large, lightweight part of the atom

3
Nucleus of an Atom

• Nucleus contains

• Protons

• Have a positive charge
• All atoms are distinguished by
• the number of protons it
• has (atomic number)

N

• Neutrons

• Have no charge
• Have same mass as protons

4
Electron Cloud of an Atom

• An electron cloud contains
• Electrons

• have a negative charge

• are contained within shells of the electron cloud

• orbit the nucleus of the atom

• have a very small mass compared to protons and
  neutrons

• determine bonding properties of substance

Elements
Elements contain one or more of the same type of
atom!
Examples include
Oxygen 8 protons per atom
Copper 29 protons per atom
Gold 79 protons per atom
7
Compounds
Compounds contain more than one type of atom!
Example of organic compound (a compound with
carbon atoms)
Example of inorganic compound (a compound with no
carbon atoms)

IONS
An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a
positive or negative charge!!

• A particle with a neutral charge has the same
  number of
• protons and electrons.

• An ion does not have the same number of
  electrons and protons.

• Examples of ions

• He - A helium atom that is missing one
  electron.
• The atom has one more proton than
  electron,
• and must have a positive charge.

• CO32- - Carbonate has two more electrons than
  protons
