ATOMS
C1 THE PARTICULATE NATURE OF MATTER (AND C3.3 ATOMIC STRUCTURE)
|
Before you start you can look back at 7G Solids, liquids and Gases, 7H Solutions or 8EF Elements, Mixtures and Compounds.
If you only remember one thing... ATOMS HAVE PROTONS (+) AND NEUTRONS (O) IN THEIR NUCLEUS AND THE ELECTRONS (-) FLY AROUND IN SHELLS. |
This is the first of the 14 Chemistry units:
Atoms (C1-3) Compounds (C1-3) Mixtures (C2,3) C4. Stoichiometry C5. Electricity and Chemistry C6. Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions C7. Chemical Reactions C8. Acids, Bases and Salts C9. The Periodic Table C10. Metals C11. Air and Water C12. Sulphur C13. Carbonates C14. Organic Chemistry |

Watch this Prezi about the history of atomic theory.
Basic atomic structure video.
A video about electron shells.
An excellent video about electrons and how/why they affect reactivity. (Be careful we won´t use Lewis dot structure in this topic)
