Atomic Theory (Or a quick Chemistry Review)
Atomic Theory Q: What does science study? A: The natural world, the physical universe Q: What are the components of the P.U? A: matter, energy, forces
“Flavors of Atoms” (But which are “atoms of life”?) Worksheet review
“Guts” of Atom NameLocation Charge Mass ProtonNucleus+11 amu NeutronNucleus 0~ 1amu Electronshell, E level -1~ 1/2000 amu
Vocabulary Atomic number (Z) – Atomic mass (M) Valence electrons – Octet rule – “bus-seat” rule
How to Build an Atom 1) Determine Z 2) Add neutrons 3) Add electrons (# electrons = # protons) Rules: * Add up to 2 e to 1 st E level * Add up to 8 e to 2 nd E level * Add up to 8 e to 3 rd E level …….
Draw oxygen Atomic # = ? Atomic mass = ? # of valence electrons? Stable?
Draw P, H Atomic # = ? Atomic mass = ? # of valence electrons? Stable?
Why do atoms bond? (For the same reasons humans do?? To become “happy”! To become more stable.. NOTE: ATOMS LOSE THEIR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY WHEN CHEMICALLY BONDED TO FORM MOLECULES
