ZIMSEC O Level Combined Science Notes: Structure of atoms
- Elements are made up of peculiar particles that are called atoms
- Each element has its own unique atoms
- The atom is the smallest part of matter that can take part in a chemical change
- All the atoms of the same element for example iron have the same properties
- Different atoms combine in small numbers to form compounds
- During chemical reactions in which new atoms are formed atoms are rearranged
- Atoms are made up of even smaller particles known as protons, neutrons and electrons
- The atoms one element have the same number of protons and electrons
Atomic structure
- The atom is the smallest part of an element
- Atoms are made up of even smaller particles known as protons, neutrons and electrons
- The atoms of one element have the same number of protons and electrons
- an atom is made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons in orbits
