How to use it…
ATOMIC NUMBER:
The number of protons in the nucleus.
 It is the number of protons that identifies
the element.

ROUNDED ATOMIC MASS – ATOMIC NUMBER
FOR EXAMPLE…CARBON
 ATOMIC MASS = 12.011…ROUNDED IS 12
 ATOMIC NUMBER = 6

VALENCE ELECTRONS:
•
Electrons that are involved in transfer or
sharing
•
Located in the outer level of the atom
•
Not all electrons in an atom are involved in the
sharing or transferring
•
2 ways to represent the number of valence
electrons:
•
The Bohr Model
•
Lewis Structure
