Elements are the basic building blocks of matter.
Elements and the Periodic Table
Over 100 elements are known.

Smallest particles of matter Have all the characteristics of an element The nucleus is the central part of
an atom and contains• protons, which have positive
electrical charges• neutrons, which have neutral electrical
charges

Energy levels, or shells• surround the nucleus• contain electrons—negatively charged
particles The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but varying numbers of neutrons.
Have different mass numbers: the sum of the neutrons plus protons
Many isotopes are radioactive and emit energy and particles.
The mass number is the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Isotopes

Why Atoms Bond When an atom’s outermost energy level
does not contain the maximum number of electrons, the atom is likely to form a chemical bond with one or more atoms.• A compound consists of two or more
elements that are chemically combined in specific proportions.
• An ion is an atom that gains or loses electrons.

Mass Number = Number of Protons = Number of Neutrons (Mass # = #P + # N) so M# - #P = # N
Number of Protons = Number of Electrons (P=E)
Atomic Number = Number of Protons A#= #P

Periodic Table

Periods • Each row is called a
“period”
1st Period = 1 Shell
2nd Period = 2 Shells3rd Period = 3 Shells
4th Period = 4 Shells
• The elements in each period have the same number of shells

Groups or Families
• Each column is called a “group”
• Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells”.
Group 1 = 1 electronGroup 2 = 2 electrons
Group 8 = 8 electrons
Except for He, it has 2 electrons
• The electrons in the outer shell are called “valence electrons”www.chem4kids.com

Transition Metals• Transition
Metals have slightly different rules for shells and valence electrons.
• This is something you will learn about in High School Chemistry.

Name the elementNumber of Shells?Valence Electrons
• Helium is the exception in Group 8.
• Since it has just one shell, that shell can only fit 2 electrons instead of 8.
• It is in this group because all the elements have a full outer shell.
