2 The structure of an atom? _______ – center of the atom  Home of Protons and Neutrons  _______ Has a positive (+) charge Has a relative mass of 1 Determines the atomic number Found inside the nucleus

3 What is the structure of an atom?  _______ Has no (0) charge Has a relative mass of 1 Determines the isotope  Isotopes are two of the same element with different masses Found inside the nucleus

4 What is the structure of an atom? _______  Has a negative (-) charge  Has a relative mass of 0  Determines the ion  Found outside the nucleus

5 Periodic Table of Elements

6 The Current Periodic Table The elements are arranged by increasing _______ The horizontal rows are called periods and are labeled from 1 to 7. The vertical columns are called groups are labeled from 1 to 18.

7 What’s in a square? Different periodic tables can include various bits of information, but usually:  atomic number  symbol  atomic mass  state of matter at room temperature.

8 Atomic Number This refers to how many protons an atom of that element has. No two elements, have the same number of protons. If they did they would be the same atom

9 Atomic Mass Atomic Mass refers to the “weight” of the atom. It is derived at by adding the number of protons with the number of neutrons.

10 Atomic Mass and Isotopes While most atoms have the same number of protons and neutrons, some don’t. Some atoms have more or less neutrons than protons. These are called isotopes.

11 Valence Electrons The number of valence electrons an atom has may also appear in a square. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level (orbit) of an atom. These are the electrons that are transferred or shared when atoms bond together.

14 Properties of Periods and Groups Sizes of the atoms generally decrease as we move from left to right across a period

15 As you move from left to right across a period, the ability of the atom to attract another electron increases This property is called _______ Properties of Periods and Groups

16 Hydrogen The hydrogen square sits atop Group 1, but it is not a member of that family. Hydrogen is in a class of its own. It’s a gas at room temperature. It has one proton and one electron in its one and only orbit.

17 Alkali Metals The alkali family is found in the first column of the periodic table. Atoms of the alkali metals have a single electron in their outermost orbit, in other words, _______. They are shiny, have the consistency of clay, and are easily cut with a knife. They are the _______. They react violently with water. Alkali metals are never found as free elements in nature.

18 Alkaline Earth Metals They are never found uncombined in nature. They have ________________. Alkaline earth metals include magnesium and calcium, among others.

19 Transition Metals Transition Elements These are the metals you are probably most familiar: copper, tin, zinc, iron, nickel, gold, and silver. They are good conductors of _______ and _______.

20 Halogen Family The elements in this family are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens have ______________, which explains why they are the ______________ non-metals. They are never found free in nature.

21 Noble Gases Noble Gases are colorless gases that are _______ ________________ because their outermost orbit is full. Because they do not readily combine with other elements to form compounds, the noble gases are called _______. The family of noble gases includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. All the noble gases are found in small amounts in the earth's atmosphere.

22 Rare Earth Elements The thirty rare earth elements are composed of the lanthanide and actinide series.

23 The Bohr Model of the Atom An effective way to represent the first ___________ Each electron orbit is shown as a ring around the nucleus The 1 st orbit will hold a maximum of _______ electrons The 2 nd orbit will hold a maximum of _______ electrons The 3 rd orbit will hold a maximum of _______ electrons

24 Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams 1) Determine the number of electrons (= number of protons = atomic number) 2) Place electrons in their proper orbit (2, 8, 8) Ex/ He = 2 electrons Ne = 10 electrons K = 19 electrons

25 What does it mean to be reactive? We will be describing elements according to their reactivity. Elements that are reactive bond easily with other elements to make compounds. ___________________________________?  An incomplete valence electron level (outer orbit).  All atoms (except hydrogen and helium) want to have 8 electrons in their very outermost energy level (this is called the rule of octet.)  Atoms bond until this level is complete. Atoms with few valence electrons lose them during bonding. Atoms with 6, 7, or 8 valence electrons gain electrons during bonding.
