Document Summary

The molecules of life: small number of elements combined in various ways, atoms are the basic units of matter. Nucleus contains portons and neutrons: # of protons=atomic number, #protons plus neutrons=atomic mass, isotopes are atoms of the same element that have di erent numbers of neutrons. Negatively charged electrons more around the nucleus. Typically atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, therefor net neutral. If electrons are gained or lost, electrically charged atoms are called ions. The path the electrons follow are called obital"s. Across the row electrons are added until the other shell contains its complete complement of high electrons. Relatively few elements found in living organisms. Carbon makes up ~47% of human cells by mass! Atoms can combine with one another to form molecules, held together by chemical bonds. Formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons in a molecular orbital. Sharing of electrons most generally occurs in the outermost orbitals of the atoms.
