what is the basic structure of a chemical equation?
reactants —> products
give an example of a basic word equation
sodium + chloride —> sodium chloride
give an example of a balanced chemical equation
2Na + Cl² —> 2NaCl
is this statement true?
the mass of the reactants must equal the products
yes it is true
is this statement true?
mass is conserved in chemical reactions
yes it is true
finish this sentence
the number of atoms of the each element must be …
the same on both sides of the equation
Cl² is …
clue: di………
it is diatomic it contains 2 chlorine atoms

what did John Dalton think about the atom?
tiny solid spheres
what did J.J Thompson think about the atom?
plum pudding model with electrons
what did Rutherford think about the atom?
alpha particles and gold sheet experiment concluded nucleus and nuclear model
what did Bohr think about the atom?
suggested electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances ( supported by experiments )
what did Chadwick think about the atom?
he discovered neutrons in the nucleus
explain the atomic structure
nucleus - contains protons and neutrons
First energy level (shell) contains up to 2 electrons
2nd and 3rd shell can hold up to 8 electrons
what charge do protons have?
1+
what charge do neutrons have?
0
what charge do electrons have
1-
is this statement true?
All atoms are neutral so number of protons equals number of electrons
yes it is true
what does the number of protons =
atomic number
relative atomic mass (mass number) =
number of protons + number of neutrons
