FYI – your quiz on these questions is planned for NEXT THURSDAY…December
20th! You will be asked to answer questions on ONE element. This packet, as
well as your review packet (M-8), will be the materials you need to study for this
quiz.
PROBLEM #1
How do we distinguish between the atoms of different elements?
A closer look at the properties (i.e. characteristics) of the atom
In this section of our closer look at the atom, we will take a look at how we distinguish between the
atoms of different elements. First, let’s define what a “property” is and why it is important in studying
atoms.
What is a “property” of an atom and why do we need to refer to these “properties” when we are
talking about atoms?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
There are FIVE properties of atoms that you need to know about and understand. They are…
Property
Definition
The first two properties, the chemical ________ and _________, are
Chemical
the ways that we label or “call” or “name” atoms. The symbol comes
Name
and
from the first letter or letters in the chemical’s _____________ or
Symbol
______________ name.
The third property, __________ ___________, is equal to the
number of protons OR electrons. It is the property that gives an atom
Atomic
Number
the chemical characteristics that make it different from other atoms.
Why? Because if you change the number of ______ and _______ in an
atom, you are changing its IDENTITY and all that makes it what it is
(i.e. its _______________) and what it can do with other atoms (i.e.
__________).
Location in an
entry on
Periodic Chart
The fourth property, the _____________ _______________, tells us
how much “matter” or _______________ or a.m.u.’s there is/are in the
___________atom of an element (i.e. the number of ____ and ____ ).
Atomic
Mass
Why is there an average mass? The mass of an element can be different
from atom to atom of that element. This is because ________can never
change for a given atom, but ________ can because they have a
_________ charge and therefore will not change the atom’s identity but
will change its __________.
The fifth property, the _______ ____________, is the _________
Mass
Number
mass of an __________ atom…not the __________ from the periodic
chart. Therefore, it is the __________ amount of _______ and ________
in an ________ atom. This _________ sample of an element is called an
__________.

PROBLEM #2
How do we illustrate the structure of the atom?
A FINAL and CLOSER look at the Bohr Model
The Bohr Model is something that should be relatively familiar to you…but NOW is the time to really get a grip
on it! WARNING! This might just be a little “Bohring” since you already know a bit about it!
SO, hot-shot scientists, let’s see what you know by trying to fill out the important info about the Bohr Model in
the space below…
THE PURPOSE OF THE BOHR MODEL
The purpose of the Bohr model is to:
1) _______________________________________________________________________________________
2) _______________________________________________________________________________________
THE PROCEDURE FOR MAKING A BOHR MODEL – this works for the first _____ elements ONLY!
1) Get a ______________ _____________!!! (or look at the info given about an isotope of an element)
2) Find the number of ______ in the atom by looking at the atomic ______________ for that atom.
3) Find the number of ______ in the atom by looking at the atomic ______________ again. This is same
number as the number of ______ because atoms must be _______________.
4) Find the number of ______ by ______________ the atomic ________ FROM the atomic ___________
(or mass __________ if an isotope).
5) Draw the ______________ as a circle. Put the __________ __________ and the number of
__________ and __________ in the circle.
6) Fill the __________ _____________ with the right number of ________ according to the pattern of
____ - ____ - ____ ! Do ________ fill a new _________ _________ until the level you
are in is filled to its _________________ capacity!
7) Remember, for all subatomic particles it is necessary to put the __________ before the ___________
when listing the amount of the sub-particles in the atom!

3rd to last column). Use the information in your periodic table and the MASS NUMBER of this atom of
oxygen to:
1) DRAW the Bohr model for this isotope of oxygen.
2) LIST the number of subatomic particles in this isotope of oxygen.
3) LIST how many more or less neutrons this isotope of oxygen has compared with the “average” isotope of
an oxygen atom.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PERIODIC TABLE…
The Periodic Table
A scientific problem. A periodic pattern to be discovered. Two detectives. One answer found and reformulated.
Now, for the “rest” of the story…
The Russian scientist Dmitri Medeleev was the first chemist responsible for “creating” the periodic chart of
elements. Scientists during Dmitri’s time were trying to figure out an easy way in which they could organize the
elements of matter so that it would be easy for them to communicate about their properties (i.e. scientists, even back
then, were lazy and they didn’t want to have to memorize all the elements and their properties).
Dmitri was, as are all scientists, a problem solver. His problem was to organize the elements into a predictable,
easy to understand way…he want to predictably order or .“periodically arrange” the elements in a way that relate
the elements properties to their placement in a table.
To solve this problem – to organize the elements into a table that had a periodic or predictable pattern of element
properties – Dmitri first made cards of all the known elements. On each card he wrote the element’s name and
all of its properties (e.g. atomic mass, density, color, melting point, and ability to BOND with other elements).
The ability to bond with other elements was expressed as VALENCE NUMBER. This was a number that
reflected the number of electrons that the element would want to SHARE, LOSE, or GAIN when it combined
with other elements. GET THAT? When atoms combine with one another, they either SHARE, LOSE, or
GAIN electrons in their VALENCE SHELLS. The VALENCE NUMBER is the NUMBER of electrons that an atom
will most likely LOSE, GAIN, or SHARE. This is different from the NUMBER of VALENCE ELECTRONS! The
number of valence electrons is JUST how MANY electrons there are in the VALENCE SHELL…NOT how many
the atom will most likely lose, gain, or share.
As he was “playing cards,” Dmitri fell upon a pattern. By arranging them in order of atomic mass, he noticed that
there was a pattern in the VALENCE NUMBER of the elements for EVERY SEVEN elements. The pattern was
LOSE 1 e-, LOSE 2 e-, LOSE 3e-, GAIN OR LOSE 4e-, GAIN 3e-, GAIN 2e-, GAIN 1e-. Using this pattern as his
guide and keeping to the order of increasing atomic mass, he then put the elements into columns instead of a
long strand of elements: all the elements that would lose one electron were in column one, all the elements that
would lose 2 electrons were in column two, etc. When he did this, he saw another pattern! The chart or table that
he created was predictable and periodic according to atomic mass, valence number AND several other physical and chemical
properties!
The problem of creating a chart of the elements that reflected a predictable, periodic pattern of atomic properties
had been solved…ALMOST! Some elements just didn’t seem to fit in to the pattern of increasing atomic mass and valence
numbers.
Science never stops, and the same holds true for the “creation” of the periodic table…50 years later a NEW atomic
property – ATOMIC NUMBER (the number of protons and neutrons) – was discovered by another scientist: the
Brit Henry Moseley. It was then that the pattern in the periodic table was truly founded…elements, instead of
being ordered as a function of their atomic mass, were ordered as a function of their atomic number. The
“periodic” pattern in the table of elements was based on ATOMIC NUMBER and VALENCE instead of ATOMIC MASS
and VALENCE!
…And, in the words of talk radio commentator Paul Harvey…
“that’s the ‘rest’ of the story.”
THE PROBLEM: HOW DO WE ORGANIZE THE ATOM FOR STUDYING PURPOSES?
The answer…
THE PERIODIC TABLE a.k.a. THE PERIODIC CHART a.k.a. THE TABLE OF ELEMENTS!
NOTE: Thanks to those Russian and British dudes (Mendeleev and Moseley), the periodic table is arranged in a
predictable…periodic …USEFUL way. It has a pattern to it…the properties of the elements are predictable
according to their location…they repeat themselves periodically (hence the name “periodic” table). So...USE it to
your ADVANTAGE! That’s why it’s there…that’s why it is arranged in the way that it is! YOU DON’T HAVE TO
MEMORIZE THE ELEMENTS AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS! By using the chart often, you will
automatically become familiar with the elements and the characteristics!
Here are some important periodic patterns in our most beauteous of all chemical charts.
1. The periodic table has __________________________.
a) All the elements in EACH _______________ have the same # of ____________ electrons (the same # of
electrons in the ___________ energy level). The main columns of the periodic table can be labeled so
that the column # is the same # as the # of _____________ electrons in the atoms in that column…thus,
_______________ can also be labeled with their VALENCE NUMBERS. Let’s label our
periodic charts with these numbers now.
b) Elements in the same ______________ DO share similar chemical and physical properties.
c) Example:
Beryllium has ___ electrons and ____ protons. It has _____ neutrons.
4
The Bohr model for Beryllium is:
Be
9
It is located in column _____. It therefore has _____ electrons in its _________ shell.
The Bohr model proves this! Its VALENCE NUMBER is _____.
This means that it wants to ________ 2 electrons when it bonds with other atoms.
2. The periodic table has _____________ or _________.
a) All the elements in the each _______________ have the same # of ___________ levels or shells.
b) All elements in the same _______________ do ________ share similar chemical and physical properties.
c) Example:
4
6
Beryllium and Carbon are both in period _____. The both have ____ energy
Be
C
levels, but they do _______ have similar chemical or physical properties (e.g. they
9
12
are not in the same ___________)!
3. There are 4 major ________________ or categories in the periodic table. Each _____________ has a unique
set of properties and characteristics. Because the periodic pattern in the periodic table is based upon the atomic
________________ and _______________ number of the elements, the families are each located in specific
areas on the periodic table. The chart below outlines these families, their physical and chemical properties, the
