You are chemical, and so is every thing and nonliving thing in the universe. Can"t be broken apart by normal means. Smallest particles that retain properties of an element. Made up of subatomic particles: protons (+, electrons (-, neutrons (no charge) All atoms of an element have the same atomic number. Number of protons + number of neutrons. Atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons (different mass numbers) Carbon 12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons, and 8 neutrons. # of protons # of electrons # outer-shell. Have an unstable nucleus that emits energy and particles. Radioactive decay transforms radioisotope into a different element. The number and arrangement of their electrons. Move in orbitals- volumes of space that surround the nucleus. Orbitals can hold up to two electrons. Atoms differ in the number of occupied orbitals. Orbitals closest to nucleus are lower energy and are filled first.
