B-1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Comparing Atoms What is an element? a. How many elements are represented on the periodic table supplied with the game? b. What makes each element unique? For example, how is hydrogen different from oxygen? What holds an atom together? a. The north and south ends of a magnet are like charges. Your teacher has given you two magnets to work with. How are these two magnets like protons and electrons? b. Why do you think atoms with large atomic numbers (greater than 83) do not have stable isotopes? Introduction to the Atomic Challenge a. What do you know about an atom if you know its atomic number? b. What do you know about an atom if you know its mass number? c. A fluorine atom has 9 protons and 10 electrons. It has a total charge of negative one (-1). What do you call this charged atom? d. What would you need to do to make this atom neutral? e. How many stable isotopes does oxygen have? f. Name one element that has no stable isotopes. Setting up The game of Atomic Challenge a. Please write down the name of the people in your group. b. Please write down the name of the winner of your game. Additional rules What did you learn? a. Which subatomic particles are found in the nucleus of an atom? b. Which subatomic particles are found in the energy levels? c. Explain how electromagnetic force and strong nuclear force hold an atom together. d. What is the atomic number of sodium (Na)? e. How many protons does a sodium atom have? f. How many different isotopes does magnesium (Mg) have? g. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does magnesium-24 have? h. If an isotope of silicon (Si) has 15 neutrons, what is its mass number? i. What do you call an atom in which the number of electrons is different from the number of protons? j. What element has atoms with 26 protons in the nucleus? k. Name one element that has an atomic number smaller than 50 and is also radioactive. l. Is a boron (B) atom that has 5 protons, 5 electrons, and 6 neutrons a staple isotope? m. Is an aluminum (Al) atom that has 13 protons, 13 electrons, and 17 neutrons a stable isotope? n. What might happen to this atom if it is not a stable isotope?
