1
The Atom and Periodic Table Physical Science
2
Element verse Atom ELEMENT – A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances – Ex: Neon, Gold, Helium ATOM – Smallest particle of an element – Counting unit of elements
3
History of the Atomic Model Democritus --believed in the atom John Dalton --made the theory on atoms J.J. Thomson --found the electron Ernest Rutherford --found the nucleus
4
History of the Atomic Model Neil Bohr --established energy levels Electron Cloud Model --the current model of the atom
5
3 Subatomic Particles Atoms can be broken into: Protons – Positively charged – Symbol = p + – Mass = 1 Electrons – Negatively charged – Symbol = e - – Extremely small mass Neutrons – No charged (neutral) – Symbol = n – Mass = 1
6
Parts of an Atom Nucleus – Center of the atom – Small, dense, positively charged – Where Protons and Neutrons remain Energy Levels/Shells/Orbitals – Around the nucleus – Contains the electrons
7
Atomic Number Identifies of the element Number of Protons Top of the Element Block SECRET: Also the number of electrons
8
Mass Number The sum of the Protons and Neutrons Bottom Number of the element block Round to the Nearest Whole Number
9
Understanding an Element Block ATOMIC NUMBER Element Symbol 1 st letter is upper case 2 nd letter is lower case Element Name Mass NUMBER
10
How do you Find Items Number of Protons = Atomic Number Number of Electrons = Number of Protons – (Because Atoms are neutral which means positive equals negative) Number of Neutrons = Mass Number subtract Atomic Number
11
Electron, Protons, Neutrons Example Practice Name SymbolAtomic Number Mass Number Number of Protons Number of Electrons Number of Neutrons NEON BORON
13
ISOTOPES Atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers # of protons stays the same # of neutrons change
14
How Isotopes are Written Elements name/symbol dash mass number Ex: – Oxygen—16 p + = n = – Oxygen—17 p + = n = – O—18 p + = n =
15
Why is Mass Number a Decimal? Mass Number is the weighted average of all the isotopes of an atom The isotope whom mass number is closest to the actual mass number is more abundant
16
IONS Charged Particles – Negative Charge = gains electrons – Positive Charge = lose electrons
18
The Periodic Table An arrangement of elements in columns based on properties that repeat from row to row Modern Periodic Table arranged by Henry Moseley – Arranged by increasing atomic number
19
Parts of the Periodic Table ROWS – Called Periods – Go across COLUMNS – Called Groups – Go up and down
20
Periods 7 periods Elements in the same period have: – Same number of energy levels or shells or orbitals
21
Groups 18 groups Elements in the same group have the same: – Properties – Valence Electrons – Oxidation Numbers
22
Valence Electrons Number of electrons on the outermost (last) energy level Code: – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Number next to “A” at the top of the column
23
Know Your Roman Numerals I = 1 II = 2 III = 3 IV = 4 V = 5 VI = 6 VII = 7 VIII = 8
24
Oxidation Number Number of electrons an atom will gain or lose to become stable Stable = 8 electrons on last shell Code: – +1, +2, +3, ±4, -3, -2, -1, 0 “+” means lose electrons “—” means gain electrons
25
Labeling the Periodic Table
27
Bohr’s Model Focuses On Electrons Places electrons into energy levels Developed by Neil Bohr
28
Components of Bohr’s Model Circles Number of Circles = Period Number = Number of Energy Level DOTS Go on the Last Circle Number of Dots = Number of Valence Electrons Important Note – First energy level has a max of 2 electrons – All other energy levels have a max of 8 electrons
29
Steps to Draw Bohr’s Model 1.Place a dot to be Nucleus 2.Place circles around Nucleus 3.Place dots on last circle in correct order EXAMPLE Oxygen
30
Bohr Model Practice NEON BoronHelium
31
Electron Dot Diagrams Model of an atom in which each dot represents the valence electrons AKA: Lewis Dot Diagrams
32
Steps to Draw Dot Diagrams 1.Identify the number of valence electrons 2.Write the element’s symbol 3.Place dots around the symbol equal to valence electrons in correct order Example NEON
33
Dot Diagram Practice Fluorine SodiumCarbon
35
Classifying Elements Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids based on properties and location on the periodic table
36
Metals Most elements are them Good Conductors of electricity/heat Solid at room temperature (except Mercury) Ductile: turn into thin wire Luster: reflect light Malleable: hammer into sheets High Melting Point Left side of the stair step Francium: Most reactive metal High Boiling Point
37
Nonmetals Dull Brittle Poor Conductors of electricity/heat Most are gas at room temperature Low Melting Point Low Boiling Point Right Side of Stair Step Fluorine: most reactive nonmetal
38
Metalloids Have BOTH characteristics of metals and nonmetals Found on the stair-step line What are the Metalloids – B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At
39
Periodic Trend Reactivity – As you go left to right across a period, the less reactive elements become – Going down a group, the more reactive the element becomes
41
Outlining the Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
42
THE FAMILIES AND GROUPS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE
43
Alkali Metals Group IA 1 valence electron Reactivity increases from top to bottom Francium is most reactive metal
44
Color the Alkali Metals
45
Alkaline Earth Metals Group IIA 2 valence electrons Ca: is in your bones, teeth, shells
46
Color the Alkaline Earth Metals
47
Transitional Metals THE MIDDLE OF THE PERIODIC TABLE Groups 3B-12B Vary in oxidation numbers Brightly colored Likes to combine with Oxygen
48
Color the Transitional Metals
49
BORON FAMILY Group IIIA 3 valence electrons Al: most abundant metal in Earth’s crust
50
