Document Summary
90) are found in nature, the others have been prepared artificially. Combine sodium with chlorine to make sodium chlorine. There are literally millions of known compounds or substances. Compounds or substances are noted by the relative amounts of elements. Other examples: water, h2o; carbon dioxide, co2; methanol, ch4o, etc. The ele(cid:272)tro(cid:374)s (cid:862)gra(cid:448)itate(cid:862) arou(cid:374)d the (cid:374)u(cid:272)leus; they (cid:271)elo(cid:374)g to a regio(cid:374). They gravitate so fast that they effectively occupy the whole space. The protons and neutrons remain in the nucleus and are unchanged with chemical reactions. The protons retain and keep the identity of the elements. The amu is defined relative to the mass of 12c: it is equal to 1/12 of the mass of a. Carbon atom that has 6 p and 6 n; 12c is assigned a mass of exactly 12; 1 amu has a mass equal to 1. 6605 10-24 g. Mass number a = n + z. For a neutral atom, number of e- = z.
