# Unit 1: Chemistry
- Matter - has mass, takes up space.
- fundamental unit -> ATOMS
## Atoms
- Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that still retains its properties
- Atoms are made of subatomic particles
- Relative Charge: compared to something.
- AMU = atomic mass units
- models allow people to make accurate preictions about the behaviour of matter
- atmoic notation $`_{19}K`$
- an isotope is an atom (or atoms) of an element with a unique # of neutrons
|Name |Symbol|Relative mass (amu)|Location|Relative Charge|
|:--------|:-----|:------------------|:-------|:--------------|
|Protons |$`p^+`$| 1 |nucleus | $`+1`$ |
|Neutrons |$`n^0`$| 1 |nucleus | $`0`$ |
|Electrons|$`e^-`$|$`~\frac{1}{2000}`$|in orbit around nucleus (shell, energy level)|$`-1`$|
## IUPAC
|Letter|Definition|
|:-----|:---------|
|I|International|
|U|Union|
|P|Pure and|
|A|Applied|
|C|Chemistry|
- Involved in studying, varifying information (eg the periodic table -> Describes the elements -> pure susbtances made of only one kind of atom),and publishing.
