WHAT IS ATOM?

• Building blocks of

everything.
WHAT IS ATOM?
• smallest unit of matter

that is composed of three

sub-atomic particles: the
proton, the neutron, and

the electron.
Atomic Number (Z)

Mass Number (A)

WHAT IS NUCLEUS?
• comprised of protons and neutrons;
it is therefore positively charged.
• The number of protons within the
nucleus of a given atom is equal to the
atomic number of the corresponding
element, which can be found on the
periodic table.
• The number of protons within the
nucleus of a given atom is equal to
the atomic number of the
corresponding element, which can
be found on the periodic table.

• The mass number is the sum of

protons and neutrons.
WHAT IS ISOTOPES?

• Atoms of the same element that have

a different number of neutrons are
known as isotopes.
MOLECULES
AND
COMPOUNDS
WHAT IS MOLECULES?
• A molecule forms when an atom
bonds with other atoms

• group of two or more atoms held

together by chemical bonds.
MOLECULE
WHAT IS COMPOUNDS?

• a substance made up of two or

more different chemical elements
combined in a fixed ratio.
