ATOMS & PERIODIC TABLEBy: Aimee Chavez

PROPERTIES OF SUBATOMIC PARTICLES Protons: positive + charge , found in

nucleus, Electrons: negative - charge, found

outside nucleus Neutrons: 0 charge, found in nucleus,

ATOMIC NUMBER

The atoms of an element have the same number of protons. Equals the number of Electrons. Each + charge in an atom is equal to the – charge making it neutral.

A.P.E

Atomic Number = Protons = Electrons

The atomic number of an element is equal to it’s number of protons which is also equal to it’s number of electrons.

MASS NUMBER

Sum of protons + neutrons.

Atomic Mass: an average of the mass of all the isotopes from an element. The number we see on the periodic table with a decimal.

M.A.N.N

Mass – Atomic Number =

Neutrons

To find the neutrons of an element you take the mass and subtract the atomic

number.

ISOTOPES

Atoms of the same element that have different number of neutrons and mass numbers.

Written as: C-14 or Carbon -14 or an isotope of Carbon 14.

** The 14 is the mass number since Carbon is number 6 and always number 6 !

VALENCE ELECTRONS

Electrons involved with Chemical Bonds Group 1 = 1 Group 2 = 2 Group 13 -18 minus 10 therefore 18 has 8 Valence Electrons.

The maximum V.E. is 8 which is considered stable.

BOHR’S MODEL

Electrons move in orbitals around the nucleus.

Energy Level 1 = 2 2 = 8 * there are 2* 3 = 18 4 = 32

LEWIS DOT OR ELECTRON DOT DIAGRAMS A model of an atom in which each dot

represents a valence electron.

PERIODIC TABLE

The arrangement of elements relate to it’s properties and it’s structure.

1789: Lavoisier grouped elements into categories he called metals, non metals, gases, and Earths

1860’s: Mendeleev arranged elements in rows by increasing mass , elements with similar properties were in same columns, there were blanks for those not yet discovered

PERIODIC LAW

Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number. There are patterns of repeating properties.

Groups/Families: similar properties and electron configuration, determines chemical properties

Variation across a period, left are most metallic right non metallic, left most reactive metal, right most reactive non metal group 17.

GROUPS/FAMILIES:

CLASSES

Solid, Liquid or Gas Natural or not natural , elements above

93 not natural Properties: metals, non metals,

metalloids

METALS

Most conductors of heat and electricity All solid at room temperature except

mercury Most are malleable, ductile Some are very reactive

ALLOYS

A mixture of metals with another metal or nonmetals. Bronze = copper + tin Brass = copper + zinc Stainless steel = Fe + ( carbon, chromium or vanadium )

By combining these elements the properties of the mixture is changed. For example stainless steel is less resistant to rusting.

METALS VS. NONMETALS

Metals are found on the left of the periodic table.

Nonmetals are found on the right of the periodic table.

METALLOIDS

Varies with temperature Conduct electricity

HYDROGEN

Hydrogen can not be grouped. Most commonly found combined with

oxygen to produce water.

ALKALI METALS GROUP 1

1 V.E. extremely reactive Found in nature only as compounds NaCl (evaporation sea water or Earth’s

Surface) Reactivity increases from top to bottom

ALKALINE EARTH METALS GROUP 2 2 V.E. never uncombined in nature Mg and Ca are essential for Biological

functions Mg: photosynthesis, bile Ca: Bones, teeth, plaster casts

TRANSITION ELEMENTS GROUPS 3-12

Most are hard and shiny and good conductors of electricity.

They are fairly stable.

BORON FAMILY GROUP 13 Has 3 V.E. Boron B = metalloid Aluminum Al , Gallium Ga , Indium In ,

Thallium Ti are metals Aluminum is the most abundant element

in Earth’s Crust. It is used for packaging, making gutters and screens.

Boron when mixed with silicon makes a durable glass ware often used in Labs.

CARBON FAMILY GROUP 14 4 V.E. Carbon C = nonmetal Silicon Si & Germanium Ge are metalloids Tin Sn & Lead Pb are metals Carbon is important for all living organisms

and is part of many compounds. Silicon is the 2nd most abundant element in

Earth’s Crust. It combines with oxygen to form silicon dioxide which is found in quartz.

NITROGEN FAMILY GROUP 15 5 V.E. Nitrogen N & Phosphorus P are

nonmetals Arsenic As & Antimony Sb are

metalloids Bismuth Bi is a metal Nitrogen makes up 80% of our

atmosphere. Phosphorus is not stable as an element

therefore in nature is as a compound. Used to make flares and matches.

OXYGEN FAMILY GROUP 16 6 V.E. Oxygen O , Sulfur S, and Selenium Se are

nonmetals Tellurium Te & Polonium Po are Metalloids Oxygen is the most abundant element in

Earth’s Crust and 2nd in Earth’s Atmosphere. It is important for breathing, cell processes Sulfur is used to make fertilizers, rubber

bands, medicine, and is smelled in rotten eggs.

HALOGENS GROUP 17 7 V.E. Fluorine F, Chlorine Cl, Bromine Br,

Iodine I are nonmetals Astatine At is a metal These elements are very reactive. Fluorine is used to prevent tooth decay. Chlorine is part of table salt.

NOBLE GASES GROUP 18

8 V.E. Helium He, Neon Ne, Argon Ar, Krypton

Kr, Xenon Xe, Radon Ra are all nonmetals.

They are all part of Earth’s Atmosphere. Some of the uses are filling balloons

and to make lights glow ( Neon Lights).

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

There are 25 elements that are essential to the Human Body.

Six of the major ones make up 99 % of body mass. (H,O.C,N,P,Ca)

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS FUNCTIONS

O: releases energy stored in foods, most abundant element in body

H: Chemical Reactions C: Part of many compounds Fe: Part of Hemoglobin I: Chemical reactions K: Muscle and nerve function, fluid balance V: Controls blood sugar, forms bones and

teeth

HARMFUL ELEMENTS

Lead Pb can cause organ damage, learning problems.

Mercury Hg can cause brain and nervous system damage

Arsenic As can cause poisoning

TOO MUCH = HARMFUL

Sodium Na: needed for water balance and nerve function

can cause high blood pressure Selenium Se: Used for immune function

found in brazil nuts can cause nerve damage Zinc Zn : Used for immune function can cause anemia by decreasing Fe

uptake.
