The Atom: Smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of the element. Essential Questions: What is an atom? What is its structure? What determines properties of an element?
Atoms act in orderly, predictable ways.

AMU = relative measurement and used for comparison Atomic Mass Unit AMU The “amu” is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12 (with 6 protons and 6 neutrons) and has a value of 1.660538921×10−27 kg.
Organization of the Periodic Table Columns – Groups All the elements have similar chemical and physical properties All will chemically react in a similar way Names of groups Rows – Periods Elements have same number of energy levels
Isotopes
Isotopes - Discovery Education Video
Isotopes: Atoms of an element with different masses Naturally occurring Some are stable and some are radioactive (unstable) Isotopes of an element have the same number of ___________ and a different number of ______________.
Identifying Isotopes Isotope Notation 1. 2. On the Periodic Table, the number with the Decimal point is:
Atoms of the Same Element
Atoms of the Same Element
Atoms of the Same Element
Atomic Mass Weighted Average Mass of isotopes Based on the percentage of each isotope present.
Grades are often computed using a weighted average. Suppose that homework counts 10%, quizzes 20%, Labs 10% and tests 60%. If: homework grade is 92 quiz grade is 68 lab grade is 88 test grade is 81 What’s the overall grade?

Changing An Atom Changing an Atom
Ions Atoms can lose or gain electrons when bonding to make ionic compounds We keep track of the number of electrons that can be lost or gained with oxidation numbers (also known as charges) Ions are charged particles –when an atom has too many or too few electrons to be neutral No change to the nucleus Proton and neutrons stay the same number.
Ions – Charged Particles 7. When atoms of elements form ions (__________ __________, they must either __________ or _______ valence electrons. Gain/lose? Charge Ion type? Metals Non-metals 46 46
Why are ions important? The ___________________ charged particles are like a magnet. Therefore, they are strongly held together in an ______________ _____________ forming an _____ ________________. 47

It’d like to have removed. When they are gone, it has a +3 charge, Next door, aluminum, the 3rd step over has 3 electrons It’d like to have removed. When they are gone, it has a +3 charge, And, by gosh!, It’s even smaller than the “lefter” two. 56 56
But add one electron To the halogen group, So they all have a Negative one charge. They get 8x bigger than They were before. Puffed up, very large. 57 57

complete electron shell. Thus, minus 2 is their ionic charge. Sulfur and oxygen need 2 electrons to give each a full and complete electron shell. Thus, minus 2 is their ionic charge. And they’re a little larger Than the “Hal-ions”. 59 59
Add three electrons to the nitrogen group. So that group has a triple minus charge. And the pattern we see makes it very clear. Negative ions are large! 60 60

Half-life Measure of Radioactive decay rate. Measured as the time it takes for ½ of a sample of radioisotope’s nuclei to decay into its products.
Half Life Decay of a radioisotope Number of Half-Lives Elapsed time Amount remaining 100 g 1 1.5 year 50 g 2 3 years 25 g 3 4.5 years 12.5 g
Half Life Problems How much of a 100g sample of an unstable isotope remains after 25 years if the half life is 5 years? 3.1 g
Half Life Problems How much of a 60g sample of an unstable isotope remains after 2 days if the half life is 12 hours? 7.5 g
Half Life Problems How much of a 20 g sample of an unstable isotope remains after 6 sec if the half life is 0.5? 0.005 g

Radioactive Isotopes A radioactive isotope has an unstable nucleus that undergoes spontaneous changes. Emits particles and energy Transmutates into another element
Particles emitted from a radioactive isotope Type Symbol Charge Mass
Nuclear reactions Total number of atomic numbers and the total mass numbers must be equal on both sides of the equation. Examples:
Radioactive decay No 2 radioactive isotopes decay at the same rate. Therefore, decay rate can be used to identify the isotope. Decay is measured by half life.
