2. Vocabulary ATOM-the smallest unit that maintains the characteristics of an element – Nucleus- The center of the atom, contains protons and neutrons – Electron Cloud –Region surrounding the nucleus containing the electrons

4. The Atom

6. Nucleus Protons Neutrons

7. The Nucleus Proton-A positively charged sub-atomic particle (+). Atomic Mass=1 amu The number of protons is the same as the atomic number Li 3 7 The atomic mass The Atomic Symbol

8. The Nucleus Neutrons –A sub-atomic particle in the nucleus --Has a mass equal to 1 atomic mass unit --Neutron do not have a charge (0) To calculate the number of neutrons in an element… Li 3 7 The atomic number The atomic mass -The atomic number The number of neutrons

9. Li 3 7 The atomic number The atomic mass 7 (Atomic Mass) -3 protons(Atomic #) 4 neutrons

10. WRITING RESPONSE How many protons does Mg have? How many neutrons does Mg Have?

11. WRITING RESPONSE How many protons does Mg have?12 How many neutrons does Mg Have? 12

13. The Atom

14. The Electron Cloud Electrons- The number of electrons equals the number of protons Sub-atomic particle with a negative charge (-) Electrons behave as if in a 3-D orbit Valence Electrons – The outer most electrons – Valence electrons are responsible for bonding

15. WRITING RESPONSE How many protons? How many neutrons? How many electrons?

16. WRITING RESPONSE How many protons? 3 How many neutrons? 4 How many electrons? 3

18. Bohr Model The first shell can have 2 electrons The second shell can have 8 electrons

19. Shells and the Electron Cloud

20. Let’s look at a few elements… Hydrogen 1= Proton1= electron

21. Let’s look at a few elements… Helium 2=protons2=neutrons 2=electrons

22. Let’s look at a few elements… Lithium 3=protons4=neutrons 3=electrons

23. Let’s look at a few elements… Fluorine 9=protons10=neutrons 9=electrons

24. Let’s look at a few elements… Argon 18=protons22=neutrons 18=electrons

25. ISOTOPES Atoms that have the same # of protons but have neutrons that have been added, resulting in a different atomic mass.

27. IONS Charged particles that occur when an atom gains or loses an electron during chemical bonding. If the atom gains an electron- Negative charge Ex: Cl - Most non-metals form negative Ions If the atom loses an electron- Positive Charge Ex: Na + Most metals form Positive Ions

28. Losing an Electron = Positive ion Na + has 11 protons but only 10 electrons Gaining an Electron = Negative ion Cl - has 17 protons but has 18 electrons

29. What would the charge be on an atom that lost an electron? Gained two electrons?

30. Which shows a negative ion? Explain Which shows a neutral atom? Explain Which shows a positive atom? Explain A B C
