1. Elements and Molecular Organization

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Element : A kind of atom with its own characteristic properties.
  • Molecule : Formed when atoms combine and make bonds with each other; it may be a small simple molecule or a large compound containing multiple elements.

★ Must-know

  • Most atoms in living things are:
    • oxygen (O)
    • carbon (C)
    • hydrogen (H)
    • nitrogen (N)

Further detail

  • Each water molecule is an H2O molecule made of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.

2. Atomic Structure and Electrical Charge

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Subatomic particles : Atoms are made of smaller subatomic particles, including positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons, and neutrally charged neutrons.
  • Ion : An atom with an electrical charge because it has gained or lost electrons.
