Question
Chapter 3, Problem 63E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The connection between the properties of elements and atoms that composed it, is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
An atom is the smallest particle capable of independent existence. All atoms are composed of the same subatomic particles i.e., electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Atoms of different elements have different physical and chemical properties. This is because of the difference in their number of electrons.
Atoms are present in both living and nonliving things with the difference that, in living things, atoms have combined to form molecules, which have then aggregated to form cells.

Each element has a unique number of protons. For example, an atom with 47 protons is always a silver atom and has an atomic number of 47. The atomic number is used to distinguish different elements from one another. The mass number A is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. Atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isofopes. For example, all atoms with atomic number 8 are carbon atoms, but carbon atoms with mass numbers of 12 and 13 are isotopes of one another. Each element is assigned a unique chemical symbol. For example, the symbol for hydrogen is H. and the symbol for oxygen is 0. Some elements have symbols based…arrow_forward
