1. Atomic and Molecular Structure a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations)

1. a) Democritus reasoned that if matter could be infinitely divided‚ it was also subject to complete disintegration from which it can never be put back together. However‚ matter can be reintegrated. b) In Greek‚ the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos‚ a Greek word meaning uncuttable. All matter is composed of atoms‚ which are bits of matter too small to be seen. These atoms CANNOT be further split into smaller portions. 2. At
