Document Summary

Atomic structure: elements: consist of one type of atom, atomic structure, central nucleus: almost all of the mass, contains protons and neutrons, electron: little mass, found in orbitals. In the nucleus: protons have a +1 charge, neutrons have a 0 charge, electrons, have a -1 charge. Ions: atoms or molecules with net eclectic charge are called ions. Some atoms tend to lose electrons: atoms that lose negative charges will be left with what type of net charge, becomes ion with positive charge. So ions with opposite charges will bond together to form a compound: these compounds tend to be crystalline solids, example: nacl or common table salt is a compound held together by an ionic bond, covalent bonding. It affects the structure and function of macromolecules: electronegativity determines the polar or nonpolar nature of the bond- what"s that, the affinity that an atom has for an electron (how strong an atom attracts an electron)
