the chemistry of biology
Everything is made of ___________
atom
a bit of matter that can not be subdivided any further without losing its essential properties
atom
anything that has mass and takes up spaces
matter
is substance that cannot be break down chemically into any other substance
element
atomic structure has two reigions :
internal : Nucleus which contains proton and neutron
external : Outer region containing electron that orbit nucleus
all the element has neuntron except :
hydrogen
the number of _____________ in an atom determines its atomic number in the Periodic Table
proton
there is attraction between the positve charged nucleus negatively charged electron holds ____________
electron in orbit around the nucleus
atomic number :
proton , distinguish one element from another
atomic mass :
the combined mass of the proton and neutrone
in most atoms :
proton=neutron=electron
can you indicate to periodic table
atomic number etc :
Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
Isotopes
isotopes charcteristic :
same atomic number and different atomic weight and mass
an isotope with atomic nuclei that are not stable and break down spontaneously
radioactive atom
atoms are radioactive which means:
energy that’s released is ________
release tiny high speed particles that carry energy when they break down :
radiation
the big four in you body :
oxygen , carbon , hydrogen , nitrogen
__________________determine whether, and how, the atom will bond with other atoms
An atom’s electrons
