Formulae and

symbols for atoms and compounds

Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken into simpler matter through chemical processes.

• Smallest building blocks of elements

• Smallest particle• Identical in a specific element• Differ in size, mass and

properties in different elements

Atoms

• Period 2: 2 orbitals

• 6 protons• 6 electrons• 12-6 = 6

neutrons• Group 4: 4

valence electrons +
