Particle Diagrams (Lecture 1-2)
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
In particle diagrams, spheres represent individual atoms, and the box represents the container they are in.
- 2
If a particle diagram has spheres of the same size and color, it represents an element, but if two or more are touching, it is a diatomic element.
- 3
A solid in a particle diagram has a structured pattern, while a liquid has a random pattern, and a gas fills the entire space.
