Atomic Number = protons & electrons Atomic Mass = protons + neutrons Calculate: ▪ Neutrons = Mass – Atomic Number STAAR Tips: APE (atomic number is the same as the amount of protons and electrons) M&M (mass in the middle)
Groups (columns) 18 groups # of valence electrons ▪ Skip groups 3-12 for now (transition metals) Periods (rows) 7 periods # of energy orbitals for electrons
Non-metals All gases at room temperature All of their outer most energy levels have something in common Discover during our upcoming lab! EXTREMELY UNREACTIVE! MOST STABLE! Remember: helium is used in birthday balloons
This group is MOST REACTIVE They have something in common in their outermost energy level
Metals Most abundant If you have an unknown element, how do you know you have a metal? ShinyMagneticGood Conductor MalleableDuctile
Non-Metals Organic Elements (SPONCH) here: ▪ Sulfur ▪ Phosphorus ▪ Oxygen ▪ Nitrogen ▪ Carbon ▪ Hydrogen
If you have an unknown element, how do you know you have a non-metal? DullBrittleNot a good conductor Not magneticNot ductile Insulators
Metalloid Least abundant On the “stair case” If you have an unknown element, how do you know you have a metalloid? These have properties of BOTH metals and non- metals!
