Intro to Chemistry
2
Atomic Structure Nucleus- center of an atom -contains protons (which are positive) -contains neutrons (which are neutral) Ex- Sodium:
3
Bohr Model of Atom
4
Atomic Structure Outside the Nucleus: Electrons (which are negative) surround the nucleus in energy levels 1 st energy level = holds 2e 2 nd energy level = holds 8e 3 rd energy level = SAVE 4 th energy level = FOR CHEMISTRY!!

7
An atom is defined by the number of PROTONS IT HAS!!!
8
Chemistry tidbits Chemical Symbol- letter representing the atom (sometimes from Latin)
9
Chemistry tidbits Atomic number = number of protons Mass number = # protons + # neutrons Don’t bother to weigh the air inside the box So how can you calculate NEUTRONS??
10
Calculating Neutrons is a simple algebraic problem… Mass Number = protons + neutrons Atomic Number = protons Write the equation… Mass Number= Atomic Number + neutrons #Neutrons = (mass number – atomic number)
11
Chemistry tidbits Usually can assume: # protons = # electrons ONLY true for NEUTRAL ATOMS!
12
And remember… Don’t mess with the PROTONS!!!
13
So what CAN we “mess with?” Neutrons… Changes the MASS Get an ISOTOPE Electrons… Changes the CHARGE Get an ION
14
Atomic Mass Mystery… Look at the atomic mass for Oxygen. What does it say (exactly?) 15.9999 What is the atomic mass? P + N So what the heck!?!?! Average of the actual isotopes on Earth!!!
15
Isotopes Isotopes are different atoms of the same element that contain the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Examples Cl-35 vs. Cl-37 17P 17P 18N 20N
16
How to write isotopes… Mass/Hyphen Notation: Especially important for a form of the isotope that is NOT the “usual” Write the symbol, a dash, and the mass # for that isotope Ex’s C-14 C-12
17
How to write isotopes… Nuclear Symbol Notation Includes the symbol, atomic #, and the mass # for that isotope Ex’s 14 6 C
18
What else CAN we “mess with?” Neutrons… Get an ISOTOPE Electrons… Get an ION
19
Periodic Table tidbits Period table organization – organized by increasing atomic number Split into metals (left side of stair step line) and nonmetals (right side of stair step line) Metalloids- surround the stairstep line Groups (families) – vertical columns (#1-18) Periods – horizontal rows (#1-7)
20
Intro to Periodic Table
22
Periodic Table tidbits Period table organization – organized by increasing atomic number Split into metals (left side of stair step line) and nonmetals (right side of stair step line) ONE EXCEPTION Hydrogen! vertical columns (#1-18) Groups horizontal rows (#1-7) Periods
25
Metals-left side of table Exist as solids at room temperature Shiny Good conductors of heat & electricity Malleable (can be bent)
26
Nonmetals-right side of table Most are gases at room temperature Some are brittle solids- carbon, sulfur, iodine, & phosphorus Most do not conduct heat & electricity well
27
Metalloids- next to zigzag line b/w metals & nonmetals Properties fall between neighbors on both sides Most are silvery in appearance, brittle, poor conductors of heat & electricty
28
Transition Metals Metals- which are less reactive than the alkali or alkaline earth metals Often exist as oxide or sulfide ores ex. Iron sulfide or iron oxide You’ll learn more in chemistry about these elements
29
Major Groups on periodic table Alkali metals- group 1- most reactive Alkaline earth metals- group 2 Transition metals- groups 3-12 Metalloids- surround stairstep line Halogens- group 17 Noble gases-group 18 (inert gases-stable; nonreactive) Periodic table Periodic table
30
Lewis Dot Structures Lewis dot diagrams- display the number of valence electrons (outermost electrons) around the element symbol Used to show how atoms of different elements bond and form compounds Hint- use group number to find valence electrons
31
Electron configurations
