It is the foundation of chemistry. They are all the foundations of the universe. As you know, the substance is composed of atoms. Solids are composed of dense atoms, but gases disperse atoms. We introduce the fundamentals of atomic structure and interatomic bond. As you learn more, you can go to the reaction and biochemistry page to see how the atoms form compounds that contribute to the survival of the biological world.

Is there anything smaller than atom? Of course there are. Ultra small particles are in atomic fragments. These elementary particles include nucleons and quarks. Nuclear chemists and physicists cooperate with particle accelerators to discover the presence of these small substances. However, science is based on atoms because it is the smallest unit of different substances

Even if there are many small atomic particles, I only remember the three basic parts of atoms, electrons, protons, and atoms. What is electronic, proton, neutron? Electrons are the smallest of the three particles that make up the atom. Electrons exist in the shell and orbit around the nucleus. There are protons and neutrons. They are gathered at the center of the atom. This is everything you need to remember. Three simple pieces!

There are about 120 known elements in the periodic table. (117 write this article) Chemists and physicists are trying to make something new in their laboratory every day. The atoms of the different elements have different numbers of electrons, protons and neutrons. Each element is unique and has an atomic number. This number represents the proton number of each atom of the element. Atomic number

You can see that each part of an atom is marked with "+", "-", or "0". These symbols represent particles. Have you heard of vibrations caused by sockets, static electricity, lightning, etc? These are all related to electricity bills. Electric charges were also found in small particles of material

Electrons always have "-" or negative charges. The protons are always "+" or positively charged. If the charge of the entire atom is "0" or neutral, there are the same number of positive and negative charges. Neutral atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. The third particle is a neutron. It has a neutral charge, also known as zero charge

Since the number of protons in an atom does not change, fewer or more electrons can generate specific atoms called ions. Cations have fewer electrons and have positive charges. Anions have additional electrons that generate negative charges

An atom is defined by the number of protons and neutrons. The number of protons represents the number of atoms and determines which element is an atom. Neutron contributes to atomic stability and determines the number of isotopes. The most important stabilizing element found by humans is lead, and there is sufficient evidence that there are 82 protons. Due to the structural symmetry of the atoms, some isotopes of lead with different numbers of neutrons are stable for their "mysterious" number of protons. Normally, atoms with many protons and neutrons become asymmetric in atomic structure, become unstable and collapse into lighter elements. However, chemists have speculated that some of these very heavy elements may have stable isotopes

21 atomic structure ➢ atomic number: the number of protons. Number of protons Helium atom mass: average mass of all isotopes. This is the number shown in the periodic table. The average mass of all isotopes This is the number shown in the periodic table.  Mass: The number of protons in protons and the number of protons and neutrons. Calculate the number of neutrons 22 P, N, E in the atom. ➢ # proton = atomic number ➢ # electron = atomic number in atom (atom is neutral, so the number of positively charged protons must be equal to the number of negatively charged electrons). Because it is neutral, # protons must be equal to the number of negatively charged electrons. ➢ Mass number = # proton + # neutron ➢ # neutron = mass - atomic number
