Resource summary

Atoms & Elements
  1. STRUCTURE
    1. protons, +, RAM1
      1. neutrons, 0 charge, RAM 1
        1. electrons, -, RAM 0
          1. number of electrons = number of protons
            1. Nucleon number= number of proton + number of neutron
              1. Proton number = number of proton =number of electron
              2. ISOTOPES
                1. Same element, different number or neutrons
                  1. AVERAGE RAM =(% x mass of first isotope)+ (% x mass of second isotope)
                    1. RADIOISOTOPES
                      1. Radioactive: break down or decay over time, giving out radiation
                        1. Used to kill cancer cells
                          1. Used as medical tracers
                            1. Used to detect leaks in oil and gas pipes
                              1. Used to sterilize things
                            2. PERIODIC TABLE
                              1. arranged in order of proton number
                                1. rows are periods, columns are groups
                                  1. period number shows number of shells
                                    1. group number shows valency electrons
                                      1. valency electrons dictate how an element reacts
                                      2. METALS
                                        1. PROPERTIES
                                          1. conductors
                                            1. high melting/boiling point
                                              1. malleable and ductile
                                                1. sonorous
                                                  1. high density
                                                    1. form positive ions
                                                    2. USES
                                                      1. Electrical wiring
                                                        1. Used in planes and rockets
                                                      2. NON-METALS

                                                          1. non-conductor
                                                            1. low melting/boiling point
                                                              1. brittle
                                                                1. dull
