What is the atomic number?
Every element has a unique atomic number (also known as
the proton number). This is the number of protons in the
nucleus of each atom.
electron
What is the atomic number of
this helium atom?
Helium has 2 protons, so its
atomic number is 2.
Atoms are neutrally charged,
so what links atomic number
and the number of electrons?
proton
neutron
Atoms are neutrally charged, so the atomic number tells us
about the number of electrons in an atom.

The periodic table
Arranging all the elements by their atomic number and their
properties led to the creation of the periodic table.

Patterns: metals and non-metals
Where are the following different types of elements grouped
together in the periodic table?
 metals
on the left and centre
 non-metals
on the right (except hydrogen)
 semi-metals
between metals and non-metals
Semi-metals have some properties similar to metals and
other properties similar to non-metals.

Patterns, atomic number and electrons
The periodic table shows that patterns in the properties of
elements are linked to atomic number.
atomic number = number of protons
number of protons = number of electrons
atomic number = number of electrons
Therefore, as atomic number increases by one, the number of
electrons also increases by one.
This means that the elements in the periodic table are also
arranged in order of the number of electrons.

How are electrons arranged?
Electrons are arranged in shells around an atom’s nucleus.
(The shells can also be called energy levels.)
Each shell has a maximum number of electrons that it is able
to hold. Electrons fill the shells nearest the nucleus first.
1st shell holds
a maximum of
2 electrons
2nd shell holds
a maximum of
8 electrons
3rd shell holds
a maximum of
8 electrons
This electron arrangement is written as 2,8,8.

Electron trends in the periodic table
Trends down a group:
 the number of outer shell electrons is the same
 the number of complete electron shells increases by one.
The number of a group is the same as the number of
electrons in the outer shell of elements in that group,
except for group 0.
Trends across a period:
 the number of outer shell electrons increases by one
 the number of complete electron shells stays the same.
The point at which a new period starts is the point at
which electrons begin to fill a new shell.
