Why is CHNOPS important

The acronym CHNOPS, which stands for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, represents the six most important chemical elements whose covalent combinations make up most biological molecules on Earth.

Nucleus of an Atom

The center of an atom and is made up of protons and neutrons.

Protons

a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.

Electrons

a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.

Neutrons

a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)

a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights

What does CHNOPS Stand for

carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur

Neutron location

inside the nucleus

Proton Location

inside the nucleus

Electron location

outside of the nucleus on the shells of the atom.

Atomic mass

the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.

Atomic number

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.

Mendeleev

A Russian scientist who formed the periodic table of elements.

Organization of the Periodic Table

Alkali Metals Alkaline Earth Metals Halogens Noble Gases
