Nucleus
• Center of the atom.
• Makes majority of the atom’s mass.
• Made of Protons and Neutrons.
Nucleus
Protons
• Part of the nucleus
• Have positive (+) charge
Neutrons
• Part of the nucleus
• Have neutral charge
Electrons
• Orbit around the nucleus
• Have negative (-) charge
Atomic Number
• Definition: the number of protons in the nucleus
• Tells us the identity of the element.
Every element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus
Isotopes
• Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers on neutrons
• Example: Carbon
So you can change the number of neutrons and the element still maintains its identity
Questions
• 1) What particles make up an atom?
• 2) What are the charges on these particles?
• 3) What particles make up the nucleus?
Questions
• 1) What is Oxygen’s atomic number?
• 2) How many protons does Oxygen have?
• 3) If I have 4 protons what element am I?
• 4) If I have 4 neutrons what element am I?
Reading the Periodic Table
Mass
Atomic Mass
• Definition: the ~ mass of one atom of an element
• Tells us how much one atom weighs in atomic mass units.
Mass
Organization of The Periodic Table
Ordered by atomic mass. Columns arranged to form groups with similar properties
Group/Family
Period
Assessment
• Which element has the greatest atomic mass?
• Lithium
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Rubidium
Reactivity
• The ease and speed with which an element combines, or reacts, with other elements or compounds
Pure sodium reacts explosively with air
Groups/families of elements have similar reactivity
Group 1: metals that react violently with water
Group 18: Gases that barely react at all
Why do groups/families of elements react the same way?
Atoms have neutral charge
• # of Protons (+) = # of Electrons (-) = 0 charge
• Example: Hydrogen
• How many electrons does C have?
Electrons orbit in “shells”
• 1st shell can fit 2 electrons
• 2nd and 3rd shells can fit 8 electrons
2nd period/row
3rd period/row
1st period/row
Atoms want their shells to be full
• 2 electrons in first shell
• 8 electrons in 2nd and 3rd shells
• Examples:
Question
• How many electrons does an oxygen have?
• How many electrons are in its outer shell?
• Which group is oxygen most likely to react with?
Question
For the first 3 periods:1) How many electrons are in the outer shell of each element in group 1? Group 2?Group 13? Group 14? Group 15? Group 16? Group 17? Group 18? 2) How many electrons does each element in each group above need to fill its outer shell? 3) Which groups are the most likely to react with one another?4) Which group is least likely to react with any other group?
Only use the 1st 3 periods
• For the first 3 periods:• 1) How many electrons are in the outer shell of each
element in group 1? Group 2?• Group 13? Group 14? Group 15? Group 16? Group 17?
Group 18? • 2) How many electrons does each element in each
group above need to fill its • outer shell? • 3) Which groups are the most likely to react with one
another?• 4) Which group is least likely to react with any other
group?
Take home message
• The properties of an element can be predicted from its location on the Periodic Table
• This is largely a result of the number of electrons in their outer shell.
Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals
Metals
• Shiny• Solids (at room temp)• Malleable – can be
hammered flat• Ductile – can be pulled
into wire• High Conductivity –
ability to transfer heat or electricity to another object
Reactivity of Metals
High Low
Metals will usually lose electrons when they react with other elements
Nonmetals
• Opposite of properties of metals
• Not shiny• Poor conductors• Mostly gases (at room
temperature)• Solids are brittle
Sulfur
Reactivity of Nonmetals
HighLow
Nonmetals will usually gain or share electrons when they react with other elements
Low
Some Important Nonmetals
• Carbon – important element for making up living organisms
• Noble Gases – group 18 – very nonreactive. Have full outer shells.
Metalloids
• Inbetween metals and nonmetals
• Solids (at room temp)• brittle and hard• Semiconductors – can
conduct electricity under some conditions but not others.– very important for
computer chips• Most common example –
Silicon – in sand and glass
