Document Summary

The basic unit of a chemical element. A substance that consists of atoms which all have the same number of protons (the same atomic number) A group of atoms bonded together, that represent the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. What *causes* an atom to be unreactive (inert). When the outermost shells are filled with 8 electrons and the octet rule is satisfied then they are unreactive (ex. What *causes* an atom to be reactive. When an electron tries to gain or lose an electron. When 8 electrons are in the outer shell, the atom is stable. The number of protons in the atom. The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Multiple forms of an element that differ in the number of neutrons. It is an isotope of an element that undergoes spontaneous decay and emits radiation as it decays.
