What is Chemistry?

Chemistry is the branch of science that deals 

with the identification of the substances that 

compose matter.

Bohr Model of 

an Atom

-Nucleus is the center 

of the atom

-The nucleus is made 

of positively charged 

protons and neutrally 

charged neutrons

-Negative charged 

electrons orbit around 

the nucleus 

Metals: The left side of the table (2 columns)

Nonmetals: The right of the table (6 columns)

Transition metals: Middle of the table (light blue)

Alkali Metals: Pink

Alkali Earth Metals: Purple

Halogens: Orange 

Metalloids: Green

Noble Gases:Dark Yellow (Far right column and Hydrogen)

Symbol: The letters (H, Ba, O, Ne)

Atomic Mass: Number under the symbol, Has a decimal

Atomic Number: Number above the symbol, No decimal

Subatomic Particles

There are three major types of subatomic particles. 

- Protons

- Neutrons

- Electrons

Each Subatomic Particle has a charge

-Protons are positive

-Neutrons are neutral, which means they have no charge 

-Electrons are negative

Electron Behavior and Bonding

-Electrons move around the nucleus in atomic orbitals

Compound Formulas and Names

Compounds are two or more elements put together to 

create something new. There are many compounds 

that have different names and formulas.

Here are a few!

hydroxic acid (water) H2O

carbon dioxide CO2

acetic acid CH3COOH

Empirical and Molecular Formulas

The Empirical Formula is the simplest one. It 

shows how many elements are present by 

showing ratios between them. The molecular 

Formula is the same, but it shows the number 

of elements and how many make up each 

compound. 

Types of Chemical Reactions

Combustion: A combustion reaction is when oxygen 

combines with another compound to form water 

and carbon dioxide.

Synthesis: A synthesis reaction is when two or 

more simple compounds combine to form a more 

complicated one. These reactions

come in the general form of:

A + B ---> AB

Types of Chemical Reactions 

Continued...

Single displacement: This is when one element trades 

places with another element in a compound. These 

reactions come in the general form of: A + BC ---> AC + B

Double displacement: This is when the anions and cations of 

two different molecules switch places, forming two entirely 

different compounds. These reactions are in the general 

form: AB + CD ---> AD + CB
