Atoms are made up of protons nutrons and electrons Protons determine the atom- when you change the number of protons- you change the atom Electrons determine the atoms behavior Positive and negative charges attract Bonds- when atoms combine ionic bonds- when one atom gives another atom an electron, but then hangs around due to a difference in charge, forms ions Covalent bonds- when electrons are shared between two atoms (very strong) Organic- contains carbon |
