Chemistry 1027A/B Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Atomic Orbital, Nuclear Fission, Nuclear Fusion
Document Summary
Liquid: when put into a container, will take the shape of the container. Math and physics (numbers, structure concepts, etc. Actuarial sciences; ie statistics (organization and analysis of data) Knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and process. Required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs (political issues. The capacity to use scientific knowledge, to identify question and to draw evidence-based conclusions. Substance that consists of a single type of atom. Atom: the smallest constituent unit or ordinary matter. Consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud. Nucleus is composed of protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) Atoms are identified by the number of protons they have (equal to the number of electrons) Nuclear fusion (putting two together) and nuclear fission (pulling them apart) Angstrom: ten-billionth of a meter (10^-10 metres) Noble gases far right: least reactive (don"t mix) F block; top are called lanthanides, bottom are the actinides (two artificial rows)
