This unit goes over the Atomic Structure of elements
Center of an Atom: Nucleus
Around the nucleus are spinning electron at the speed of light
This is called the ELECTRON CLOUD
Atomic Number: Number of protons in an atom
If not charged its a neutral atom
# of electrons = # of protons
Atomic Mass- Atomic Number = Neutron #
EX: Cobalt(Co); 59-27 = 32
Ion = POSITIVE CHARGE
Ion = POSITIVE CHARGE
Atom = NEUTRAL
Rings around the nucleus are called Energy Levels
Highest amount of energy levels are 7
