All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atoms of different elements are distinguished by their number of protons. Elements can combine to form compounds, like molecules, which may have very different properties than the individual elements. While atoms are too small to see with regular microscopes, advanced microscopes have revealed that atoms are usually arranged in well-ordered arrays.
2. All matter is made from tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are so tiny that a million of them together would still be too small to see without a microscope.
3. All matter is made from tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are so tiny that a million of them together would still be too small to see without a microscope.
4. Atoms all have a center called the nucleus. It’s like a sun in the middle of a solar system. nucleus
5. The nucleus of every atom contains tiny subatomic particles called protons and in some atoms there are also neutrons . protons neutrons
6. Orbiting around the nucleus, like very fast planets, are electrons . electrons There are about the same number of protons and electrons in each atom.

8. What are the three types of subatomic particles that atoms are made from?
9. What are the three types of subatomic particles that atoms are made from? protons
10. What are the three types of subatomic particles that atoms are made from? protons neutrons
11. What are the three types of subatomic particles that atoms are made from? protons neutrons electrons
12. In the nucleus (center). Where in the atom are protons found?
13. In the nucleus (center). Where in the atom are protons found?
14. In the nucleus (center). Where in the atom are protons found? Neutrons are found in the nucleus, too.
16. Where in the atom are electrons found? Electrons orbit very quickly outside the nucleus .

18. There are 90 natural elements. Elements are what we call the different kinds of atoms. The thing that makes elements different from each other is the number of protons in the nucleus.
40. What do we call the different types of atoms? Elements
41. What do we call the different types of atoms? Elements There are 90 different natural elements.
42. What two things make the elements different from each other?
43. What two things make the elements different from each other? the number of protons
44. What two things make the elements different from each other? number of protons properties (how it acts)
45. There are 90 different elements but there are a lot more than 90 different kinds of “stuff.”
46. There are 90 different elements but there are a lot more than 90 different kinds of “stuff.” There are millions of different kinds of stuff.
47. There are 90 different elements but there are a lot more than 90 different kinds of “stuff.” There are millions of different kinds of stuff. How can they all come from only 90 elements?
48. Just like 26 different letters in the alphabet can be put together in different ways to make thousands of words….. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ c + a + t = cat
49. 90 different elements can be put together in different ways to make millions of different kinds of stuff….. Hydrogen + Oxygen = water (H 2 O)
50. The new stuff made when two or more atoms are joined is called a compound . The smallest particle of a compound is called a molecule.
65. A compound can have totally different properties than the elements that make it.
66. One property of hydrogen is that it is highly flammable (burns easily).
67. Oxygen is an element that also has the property of flammability.
68. But the compound made from hydrogen and oxygen is the least flammable thing there is. Hydrogen + oxygen H 2 O Water
69. But a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen is the least flammable thing there is. We use water to put fires out. Hydrogen + oxygen = water
70. But a compound made from hydrogen and oxygen is the least flammable thing there is. We use water to put fires out. Remember: A compound can have different properties than the elements that made it.
72. A property of pure sodium is that it reacts violently when it comes in contact with water.
73. Chlorine is an element. Pure chlorine is a poisonous green gas. You sure wouldn’t want pure chlorine in your food.
74. Chlorine is an element. Pure chlorine is a poisonous green gas. You sure wouldn’t want pure chlorine in your food.
75. Chlorine is an element. Pure chlorine is a poisonous green gas. If something has the property of being poisonous, you sure wouldn’t want to put it in your food.
76. But sodium and chlorine together make a compound that we eat everyday. Na + Cl NaCl
78. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the chemical we call salt. Remember: A compound may have properties that are very different from the elements that join together to make it.
79. Sometimes two or more compounds can join chemically to form new compounds. During the process of photosynthesis plants take CO 2 and H 2 O molecules and use energy from sunlight to put them together to make C 6 H 12 O 6 molecules. CO 2 + H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6
80. CO 2 has no energy in it. H 2 O has no energy in it. But C 6 H 12 O 6 (sugar) is the chemical energy that all living things must have to live and grow.
81. CO 2 has no energy in it. H 2 O has no energy in it. But C 6 H 12 O 6 (sugar) is the chemical energy that all living things must have to live and grow.
82. CO 2 has no energy in it. H 2 O has no energy in it. But C 6 H 12 O 6 (sugar) is the chemical energy that all living things must have to live and grow.
83. New compounds can have properties that are very different from properties of the elements or compounds that made them.

85. Atoms and molecules are way to small to see with your eye, or with a regular microscope. But scientists have recently discovered microscopes that can see them. Electron microscope
86. Atoms and molecules are way to small to see with your eye, or with a regular microscope. But scientists have recently discovered microscopes that can see them. Electron microscope Scanning tunneling microscope
87. The images from these instruments show that atoms and molecules are usually found in well ordered arrays , which means they are arranged neatly.
