C1 : Molecular Representation

Describe atoms and their structure

definition : smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties

strutcure :

• protons and neutrons in nucleus, making up most of the atoms mass

• electrons occupying orbitals around nucleus

• atomic number = proton number

• mass number = protons + neutrons

How are formal charges calculated

formal charge - valence electrons - non-bonding electrons - bonding electrons/2
