The different types of atoms are called elements, which are arranged systematically in the periodic table.
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
All atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons (and electrons) but may vary in the number of neutrons.
The protons and neutrons are found inside the tiny but dense nucleus, whereas the electrons are found in orbitals outside the nucleus.

The Building Blocks of Matter (cont) Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All matter is composed of indivisible atoms. All atoms of one element are identical to each
other but different than the atoms of other elements.
Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in whole number ratios.
Atoms are rearranged during chemical reactions but atoms cannot be created or destroyed.

The Periodic Table Used to organize the elements by
recurring chemical properties. Elements in the same vertical column of
the periodic table have similar chemical properties and are said to be in the same group or family.

Models of the Atom (continued) Bohr’s Solar System Model
Electrons circle the nucleus in orbits, which are also called energy levels.
An electron can “jump” from a lower energy level to a higher one upon absorbing energy, creating an excited state.
The concept of energy levels accounts for the emission of distinct wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation during flame tests.
