KMS 8th grade science The smallest piece of an element that still represents that element. The atom is made up of two main parts Electron Cloud Nucleus A small area in the center of an atom Responsible for most of the atom’s mass Contains positive charge Contained in the nucleus: protons neutrons An atomic particle that has a positive charge Size: Larger than electrons Charge: Positive Location: Nucleus Atomic Mass Unit (amu) = 1 amu Neutral particle that exists in the nucleus of an atom. Size: Larger than electrons (about the same size as a proton Charge: Neutral Location: Nucleus Atomic Mass Unit (amu) = 1 amu The area around an atomic nucleus where an electron is most likely to be located Contained in the electron cloud: electrons A particle with a negative charge. Size: Much smaller than protons and neutrons Charge: Location: Atomic Negative Electron Cloud Mass Unit (amu) = 1/1,840 amu Democritus (pg. 236) Aristotle (pg. 236) John Dalton (pg. 236) J.J. Thomson (pg. 238) Ernest Rutherford (pg. 240) James Chadwick (pg. 245) Niels Bohr (pg. 245) Proposed that different types of matter are made from different types of atoms. Proposed that space between atoms was “empty” 384 – 322 B.C. Did not believe in Democritus’ idea that between atom’s were empty space He believed all matter was made of fire, water, air and earth. Late 1700’s All matter is made of atoms that cannot be created, divided or destroyed. Atoms of the same element have the same mass and are exactly alike 1897 Found negatively charged particles (electrons) and reasoned that they must have a positive charge that balances them out. Thomson’s student First atomic model with nucleus Came up with the word proton for positive charge Discovered the neutron Completed the atomic model Proposed that electrons move in circular orbits, called energy levels, around the nucleus. Pure substance made of only one type of atom A substance made from atoms that all have the same number of protons. In the empty box in your notes, look at the periodic table and fill out an element box for carbon Element Carbon 6 Symbol Atomic Number C 12.01 Atomic Mass The number of protons located in the atom’s nucleus. Turn to the periodic table in your text book…can you find the atomic number in the following element boxes? Oxygen Potassium Gold number of protons of the same element will always be the same However, atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons For example: every carbon atom has 6 protons, however some have 6, 7, or 8 neutrons. The Isotopes - atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. Most elements have several isotopes. The The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. average mass of the element’s isotopes, weighted according to the abundance of each isotope. average atomic mass is weighted and based on each isotope’s abundance on Earth The Approximately 99% of Earth’s carbon is Carbon-12 which is why carbon’s average atomic mass is close to 12 (12.01) Arranged by: Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) Arranged in order of: Increasing atomic mass Periodic- Describes something that occurs or repeats in regular intervals. The three main regions of elements on the periodic table classify elements as Metals, nonmetals, or metalloids The vertical (up and down) columns of the periodic table are called groups or families There are 18 groups Elements in the same group or family have Similar chemical and physical properties The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called periods Elements in a period are not alike in properties The first element in a period is usually an active solid , and the last element in a period is always an inactive gas . Atomic number (number of protons) increases from left to right across a period Atomic mass (number of protons + neutrons) increases from left to right across a period Metals are on the left Non-metals are on the right Different electrons within an atom have different amounts of energy An electron moves around the nucleus at a distance that corresponds to the amount of energy it has. Electrons closest to the nucleus have the least amount of energy. Electrons furthest from the nucleus have the most energy. Electron Energy Levels charged electrons are strongly attracted to positively charged nucleus of an atom. Negatively These OUTERMOST electrons can easily be attracted to the nucleus of other atoms We call these OUTERMOST electrons valence electrons Valence Electrons - outermost electron of an atom that participates in chemical bonding. These attractions are what cause chemical bonds number of valence electrons in each atom of an element can help determine The the type and the number of bonds it can form The exception to finding number of valence electrons is helium 1 1 valence electron Group 2 2 valence electron Group 3-12 valence electrons vary Group 13 3 valence electrons Group 14 4 valence electrons Group 15 5 valence electrons Group 16 6 valence electrons Group 17 7 valence electrons Group 18 8 valence electrons Helium is the exception and has 2 V.E. Group **go back to the periodic table in your notes and label the valence electrons.
