composed of a
single kind of
atom
Cannot be broken
into another
substance by
chemical and
physical means
It is a substance that is made of only one type of atom.
It is the simplest substances in the universe
What is an Element?
A substance that cannot be decomposed any further by a
chemical reaction.
A. Ion C. Molecule
B. Element D. None of these
Neutron Nucleus None gm
Facts of an Atom
The nucleus also contains neutrons, which are
slightly heavier than protons and have no electrical
charge.
The masses of a proton and a neutron are almost
equal.
The mass of proton and neutron is approximately
1840 times the mass of electron.
What is an Element?
Facts of an Atom
the atomic structure of any stable atom has an equal
number of electrons and protons.
The orbiting electron carries a negative charge
equal in magnitude to the positive charge of the
proton.
Different atoms have various numbers of electrons in
concentric orbits called shells around the nucleus.
What is an Element?
When reduced to the most nominal component, the
smallest element of matter is which of the following:
a.) One ohm of electrical current b.) An atom
c.) Electrons d.) None of the above
What is an Element?
Atomic Structure of a Copper
What is an atom?
An electron is__.
A. a neutron C. an proton partick
B.a proton D. smallest part of an atom with
a negative charge
What is an Element?
Valence Electrons
Electrons in the
outermost shell of
an atom
They determine the
element’s chemical
properties.
Important because
these are electrons
involved in bonding.

Resistance
Thisis the third characteristic of electricity. The restriction to
the flow of electrons through a conductor is called resistance
and it is measured in ohms and abbreviated “”, the Greek
symbol Omega. Resistance is expressed in a number of ways:
Resistance
In general, there are four factors that affect the amount of
resistance in a conductor:
Material
Resistance
In general, there are four factors that affect the amount of
resistance in a conductor:
Material “The longer the conductor, the
Length more resistance in the conductor.
Resistance is increased or
decreased in proportion to the
conductor’s length.”
