This document discusses subatomic particles, isotopes, and ions. It defines atoms as the smallest unit of matter that retains chemical properties. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons defines the isotope. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, becoming positively or negatively charged. Practice problems are provided to calculate subatomic particle numbers for elements, isotopes, and ions.
