PEN it! K Mass number = P+N Proton (atomic) number Atom is neutral P=E P= Bottom number E= Bottom number N= Top number
ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION
Activity! What is the atomic number and mass number of Lithium Li 7 3
Electronic Configuration Protons= the atomic number Electrons= the atomic number Neutrons= mass number – atomic number
Electronic Configuration 1 st shell- max 2 electrons 2 nd shell- max 8 electrons 3 rd shell- max 8 electrons 4 th shell- max 18 electrons e.g. Li 7 3 P= 3 E= 3 N= N N N TIP: Always put your electrons on in the order “North, East, South, West” to avoid later confusion!
Draw these Atoms! Lithium Sodium Calcium Carbon Oxygen Potassium You will need a periodic table!
