Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 10 The periodic table arranges elements according to similar properties. Periodic Table

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 11 On the periodic table, each vertical column is called a group of elements. A group contains elements with similar chemical and physical properties. Each group is identified by a group number at the top of the column. The representative elements have group numbers of 1A – 8A. The transition elements use the letter “B.” Groups on the Periodic Table

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 13 Numbering Groups One numbering system for groups assigns the letter A to the representative elements and the letter B to the transition elements. Another system assigns the numbers 1-18 to the columns across the periodic table.

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 23  Matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms.  Atoms in each element are similar and different from atoms of other elements.  Atoms of two or more different elements combine in simple ratios to form compounds.  A chemical reaction involves changes in the arrangements of atoms. Atomic Theory

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 24 Subatomic Particles  Chemists are interested in three particles in atoms: protons, electrons, and neutrons.  Protons have a positive (+) charge; electrons have a negative (-) charge.  Like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 26 Rutherford’s Gold-Foil Experiment  Most positive particles aimed at atoms of gold went straight through the atoms. Only a few were deflected.  Rutherford concluded that atoms have a small, dense nucleus with a positive charge.

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 27  An atom consists of a nucleus and a cloud of electrons.  The nucleus contains all of the protons and neutrons.  The rest of the atom, which is mostly empty space, is occupied by the electrons. Structure of the Atom

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 28  The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom.  On the periodic chart, the atomic number appears above the symbol of an element. Atomic Number 11 Na Atomic Number Symbol

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 30  An atom is electrically neutral; the net charge is zero.  In an atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. # protons = # electrons  Therefore, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. Electrons in An Atom

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 31  The mass number gives the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Mass number = # protons + # neutrons Mass Number

Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. 32  The atomic symbol represents a particular atom of an element.  The atomic symbol shows the mass number in the upper left corner and the atomic number in the lower left corner.  For example, an atom of sodium with atomic number 11 and a mass number 23 has the following atomic symbol: mass number 23 Na atomic number 11 Atomic Symbol
