2 Answer all questions. 1. (a) The following box contains some information about atoms. Read the information in the box and then answer the questions that follow. Atoms are the smallest particles that make up elements. The word comes from the Greek word atomos. Atoms cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Atoms have a central nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. This is surrounded by orbits or shells that contain electrons. An element is made up of one type of atom. Different elements contain different atoms. When two different atoms join together, a compound is formed. Use the information in the box to answer the following questions. (i) What name is given to the smallest particles that make up an element? [1] (ii) Name the two different particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
