You have 30 seconds to share with your partner.1.How can you determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an element?

Review – Timed Pair Share

1. Explain how the periodic table is organized and how it is useful to scientists.

Previewing Content

• Why is it important for elements to be able to join together to form compounds?

Energy Levels

How many electrons can each level hold?•1st level = 2•2nd level = 8•3rd level = 18•4th level = 32

Valence Electrons

• Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outer energy level.

• We will only be using Groups 1-2 and Groups 13-18.

Valence Electrons

• The last number of the group number = the number of valence electrons.

Examples• Group 2 = 2 valence electrons• Group 18 = 8 valence electrons

Bohr Diagrams

1) Find your element on the periodic table.2) Determine the number of electrons – it is the

same as the atomic number.3) This is how many electrons you will draw.

Bohr Diagrams

• Find out which period (row) your element is in.

• Elements in the 1st period have one energy level.

• Elements in the 2nd period have two energy levels, and so on.

Bohr Diagrams

CC

1) Draw a nucleus with the element symbol inside.

2) Carbon is in the 2nd period, so it has two energy levels, or shells.

3) Draw the shells around the nucleus.

Bohr Diagrams

1) Add the electrons.2) Carbon has 6

electrons.3) The first shell can only

hold 2 electrons.CC

Bohr Diagrams

1) Since you have 2 electrons already drawn, you need to add 4 more.

2) These go in the 2nd shell.

3) Add one at a time -starting on the right side and going counter clock-wise.

CC

Bohr Diagrams

1) Check your work.2) You should have 6 total

electrons for Carbon.3) Only two electrons can

fit in the 1st shell.4) The 2nd shell can hold up

to 8 electrons.5) The 3rd shell can hold 18,

but the elements in the first few periods only use 8 electrons.

Which elements want to bond?

Octet Rule•The magic number for all elements (except H and He) is 8. This means that they will gain or lose electrons in order to get 8 in their outer energy level.

Who gains? Who loses?

• More electrons = gain• Less electrons = lose
