Nucleus
• Center of the atom.
• Makes majority of the atom’s mass.
• Made of Protons and Neutrons.
Nucleus
Protons
• Part of the nucleus
• Have positive (+) charge
Neutrons
• Part of the nucleus
• Have neutral charge
Electrons
• Orbit around the nucleus
• Have negative (-) charge
Atomic Number
• Definition: the number of protons in the
nucleus
• Tells us the identity of the element.
So you can change the number of neutrons and the element still maintains its identity
Questions
• 1) What particles make up an atom?
Mass
Atomic Mass
• Definition: the ~ mass of one atom of an
element
• Tells us how much one atom weighs in
atomic mass units.
Mass
Assessment
• Which element has the greatest atomic
mass?
• Lithium
• Sodium
• Potassium
• Rubidium
Organization of The Periodic Table
Group/Family
Period
Ordered by atomic mass. Columns arranged to form groups with similar properties
Reactivity
• The ease and speed
with which an element
combines, or reacts,
with other elements or
compounds
• Example: Hydrogen
2nd period/row
3rd period/row
Atoms want their shells to be full
• 2 electrons in first shell
• 8 electrons in 2nd and 3rd shells
• Examples:
Question
• How many electrons does an oxygen
have?
Metals will usually lose electrons when they react with other elements
Nonmetals
• Opposite of properties
of metals
• Not shiny
• Poor conductors
• Mostly gases (at room
temperature)
• Solids are brittle
Sulfur
Reactivity of Nonmetals
Low
Low High
Nonmetals will usually gain or share electrons when they react with other elements
Some Important Nonmetals
• Carbon – important element for making up
living organisms
