Atoms: basic building blocks of all types matter. Matter - all materials that occupy space and have mass. Atom - simplest component of pure substance that is not divisible into simpler substances. Atoms interact with each other to form molecules. Chemistry is the science of the interaction between atoms and molecules. All atoms have a nucleus and electrons that move around the nucleus. Neutrons - neutral uncharged electrons - negatively charged. Charge is a property of particles that produce a repulsive or attractive force. Chemical element - all atoms with the same number of protons that behave the same way chemically. Outermost electron shell can give up or accept electrons from other atoms. If the outer most shell is partially lled, the atom is unstable and can react with other atoms.
