• atoms are building blcoks
  • perpetually moving
  • Has protons electrons and neutrons
  • proton is + electron is - neutron is neutral
  • held together by strong nuclear forces
  • Different shells
  • Element is classified by number of protons
  • Carbon
    • $$_{12}^{6}\mathrm{C}$$
  • $$_{atomic-number}^{atomic-mass}\mathrm{Element}$$
  • Left to roght is more electrons & protons
  • more shells (valence electrons)
  • Compounds = more than one kind of atom
  • Mixture is w/out chem bonding
  • Molecules are bonded (can be same)
  • Antimatter
    • matter has atoms
    • has atoms with negative nuclei and pos electrons
    • positron is positive electron
    • antiprotons are negative protons
    • antiparticles are produced using nuclear accellerators
  • Dark Matter
    • Unseen
    • know its there because of its gravitational pull
    • mysterious and ~27% of the universe
