Atoms

Structure of Atoms Atoms are made up of subatomic particles:
3
Structure of Atoms Atoms are made up of subatomic particles: - Protons; positively charged, and this number is the atomic number.
4
Structure of Atoms Atoms are made up of subatomic particles: - Protons; positively charged, and this number is the atomic number. - Neutrons; no charge and described as being neutral.

Structure of Atoms Atoms are made up of subatomic particles: - Protons; positively charged, and this number is the atomic number. - Neutrons; not charge and described as being neutral. - Electrons; negatively charged. - Protons and neutrons form the nucleus of the atom, with the electrons moving in the space around the nucleus

8
Mass & Atomic numbers Mass number is the number of protons plus the neutrons in the nucleus.
9
Mass & Atomic numbers Mass number is the number of protons plus the neutrons in the nucleus. Atomic number is the number of protons (and the number of electrons as they are equal).
10
EG. Sodium – 11 protons and 12 neutrons. What’s its atomic and mass number?
11
Isotopes Are two or more atoms which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
12
Isotopes Are two or more atoms which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The chemical properties of isotopes are the same (however they have a different mass) so it’s impossible to tell the difference in a chemical reaction.
13
Isotopes Common isotopes are: - carbon-12 and carbon-14 - Oxygen-16 and oxygen-18

15
Electron arrangement on the periodic table
16
Moving across a row of the periodic table, the outer shell increases by one electron, but each element has the same outer electron shell.
17
Electron arrangement on the periodic table Moving across a row of the periodic table, the outer shell increases by one electron, but each element has the same outer electron shell. The last element in each row has a full outer shell
18
Electron arrangement on the periodic table Moving across a row of the periodic table, the outer shell increases by one electron, but each element has the same outer electron shell. The last element in each row has a full outer shell Elements are stable, or unreactive when their outermost shell is full.
19
Electron arrangement on the periodic table Moving across a row of the periodic table, the outer shell increases by one electron, but each element has the same outer electron shell. The last element in each row has a full outer shell Elements are stable, or unreactive when their outermost shell is full. EG – Ne: 2,8 and Ar: 2,8,8 are both unreactive because they have full outer shell.
