6. What is an atom?
An Atom is the smallest representation of an element that has the same chemical properties as the element.
Some examples of what an atom looks like

7. The structure of an Atom
The basic parts of an atom includes;
Neutrons
Protons
Electrons (mass is negligible – the mass is so small that it is not important).
99% of the total mass of an atom is found within the nucleus, the core, of the atom

8. The structure of an atom
Sketch a picture of the atom on your foldable

9. The Parts of An Atom
Nucleus: The positively charged center of an atom that contains protons (+) and neutrons (0). 99% of the total mass of an atom is found in the nucleus.
Protons: A positively(+) charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Neutrons: A neutral (0) particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Electrons: A negatively (-)charged particle that orbits around the nucleus of an atom.

10. The Parts of An Atom
The nucleus of an atom is the most dense part of an atom.
This is because there are so many particles packed into a small space.
Since atoms are so small the measuring unit is called atomic mass unit (amu).
Protons have 1 amu, Neutrons have 1 amu, Electrons have amu
99% of an atom’s mass is in the nucleus

11. A.P.E. M.A.N. A: atomic # Equals the # of P: protons: Equals the # of
E: electrons:
Are All Equal
Therefore; Argon has 18 protons, 18 electrons, and atomic number of 18

12. Number of Neutrons
To calculate the number of neutrons that an atom of an element has subtract the atomic number (smaller number) from the atomic mass or atomic weight (larger number).

13. M.A.N.
(Mass #) – (Atomic #) = (# of Neutrons)

16. Energy Levels/Orbitals
An electron orbital is a region in an atom, outside of the nucleus, where there is a high probability of finding electrons.

17. Warm Up What is the formula for e- distribution?
What is the maximum number of e-’s that can be held in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th orbital hold?

18. Electron Distribution
The electrons are distributed to electron orbitals starting with the most inner orbital 1st.
Each orbital can only take a certain number of electrons. After the orbital has received its’ capacity start filling the next orbital.
The electron distribution formula is 2n2. N is the given orbital

19. Electron Energy
The closer the electron is to the nucleus the less energy it has.
The further the electron is from the nucleus the more energy it has.
The most outer shell is referred to as the valence shell.

20. Warm Up
An element has a nucleus that contains 9 protons, 10 neutrons, and 9 electrons. This is an atom of ?

23. VENN DIAGRAMS Due Today !
Create a VENN diagram that lists at least three things that are unique and three things that are common for each of the following:
Groups vs. Periods (think about atomic structure)
Valence Shell e-s vs. Inner Shell e-s (see notes and textbook)
Group 1A Elements Reactivity vs. Group 8A Reactivity (see notes)
Anions vs. Cations (see notes and textbook)

24. Family Quiz Alkali Metals Alkaline Earth Metals Halogens Noble Gases
Directions: Match the given groups with their proper family
Alkali Metals
Alkaline Earth Metals
Halogens
Noble Gases 7A 2A 8A 1A

25. Answers
Groups are the vertical columns of the periodic table. Groups run up and down. There are groups with A coding and Groups with B coding
Periods are the horizontal rows found on the periodic table. Periods run left to right. There are 7 periods.

26. Warm Up Draw Atom
Draw atoms for the elements with atomic numbers (3,11)(6,14)(9,17) (10 and 18).
(Be sure to place the neutrons, electrons, and protons)
Questions
What is the relationship between the valence shell electrons and the group?
What is the relationship between the period and the number of orbitals?
What happens to the size of the atom as you go down a group?

27. The Period and the e- orbital
The number of orbitals that a neutral atom of a given element has is equal to the period in which the element is located.

28. Isotope
An isotope is a atom of a given element that has a different number of neutrons

29. Mole A mole is a quantity much like a dozen is a quantity.
One mole has 6.02 x atoms in it.
6.02 x is known as Avagodro’s Number

30. Groups and Valence Shell e-’s
The number of electrons found in the most outer shell, the valence shell, is equal to the group in which the element is found.

31. Periodic Table Warm-Up
Draw a Bohr model of an atom for an element from each of the 7 groups.
Be sure that the element has an atomic mass of 1-20

32. The Periodic Table
The periodic table has 18 groups if you where to count from the left to the right and include all possible groups.
If you were to exclude the transition metals there are 8 groups that are typically numbered using roman numerals and the letter a

33. Homework: Color code the following groups on your periodic table.
Group Family
1A Alkali Metals
2A Alkaline Earth Metals
3B-2B (d-Block) Transition Elements
3A … Metalloids
7A Halogens
8A Noble Gases

34. (Atomic Structure and Reactivity)
Class Assignment
Use a Venn Diagram to differentiate at least three of the following;
Group 1A Elements vs. Group 8A Elements
(Atomic Structure and Reactivity)
Groups vs. Period and Atomic Structure

35. Warm Up Identify the given elements:
The element located in period 3 and group 4
The element located in period 2 and in the Halogen family
The element located in period 2 and the Noble Gas family

36. The Octet Rule
The octet rule says that atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons so as to have eight electrons in their outer electron shell. All atoms want to have a complete outer shell.

37. Warm Up
Draw a Bohr Model of an atom for an element with the atomic number (1-20) found in group 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, and 8A

38. Ionization
Ionization is the process of an atom gaining or losing outer shell electrons in an attempt to satisfy the octet rule

39. Ionization
Ionization is the process of an atom gaining or losing electrons from its’ valence shell.
If an atom gains electrons in its valence shell the atom becomes an anion and carries an overall negative charge.
If an atom loses electrons from its outer shell it becomes a cation and carries an overall positive charge.

40. Types of Ions
Cation: Results from an atom losing electrons the resulting atom will have a (+) charge
Anion: Results from an atom gaining electrons the resulting atom will have a (-)charge

41. Ionization State
To determine the oxidation number for a given atom of a element follow the listed rules
For groups 1A-4A their oxidation numbers are the same as their group numbers
For groups 5A-8A subtract 8 from the group number. (see board for example).
