41 views2 pages

Document Summary

Smallest functional units of matters are atom. Elements are substance that contain only one type of atom. Less than 0. 01%: trace elements (essential for growth) Carbon is the backbone of all biological macromolecules. Determine what element it is (atomic number) Molecule: 2 or more atoms bonded . Compound: molecule composed of two or more elements. Electrons orbit around in clouds called orbitals. Shells can be filled or not filled. First shell: 2 electrons second and third: 8 electrons. Octet rule: stable (except: h and he) Outer shell (valence) is full when it contains 8 electrons. : donate one or more electrons to another bond. Nacl sodium has an extra electron (wants a full valence shell) so it donates to cl as it"s missing one to be stable together. When writing ions don"t write the charge since they cancel out. Atoms want to get to a state where they have a full electron shell.
