4-1: ATOMIC STRUCTURE (page 104-110)

à  Atoms are made up of 3 types of subatomic particles:

·  ______—positively charged, mass of about 1 a.m.u., located in the nucleus.

·  ______—have no charge, mass of about 1 a.m.u., located in the nucleus.

·  ______—negatively charged, very small mass—about 1/1800 the mass of a proton, located in the electron cloud around the outside of the nucleus.

à  The Nucleus

·  The small, dense, ______charged center of the atom.

·  Contains ______and ______.

·  Contains 99.9% of the atom’s mass.

·  About 1/100,000 the size of the entire atom. (Think of a ______in the center of a football stadium!)

à  Outside the Nucleus

·  Danish scientist Niels Bohr said that electrons moved in set paths around the nucleus, similar to the way the ______orbit the ______.

·  Later, scientists said that instead of being in definite paths around the nucleus, there were locations where electrons were likely to be found. This region is called the ______.

·  Within the electron cloud, electrons with different amounts of energy exist in different ______.

·  Within each energy level, electrons are most likely to be found in regions called ______. There are four different kinds of ______: ____, ____, ____, and ____. The simplest kind (“s”) has a shape like a ______.

·  An electron in the outermost energy level of an atom is called a ______. These ______electrons determine the chemical properties of the atom.

4-2: A Guided Tour of the Periodic Table (page 111-119)

à  Periodic Law—states that the repeating ______and ______properties of elements change periodically with the elements’ ______.

·  Examples:

̶  Copper, silver and gold are all in the same vertical column on the periodic table. These elements have similar properties: all are good conductors of heat and electricity, all are malleable.

̶  He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn are all gases at room temperature, they do not react with other substances easily.

à  Horizontal rows on the periodic table are called ______. The number of protons and electrons in the elements increases by one as you move from left to right across one of these rows.

·  Example: Going from left to right in the 4th period, K has 19 protons and electrons; Ca has 20 protons and electrons, etc.

à  Vertical columns on the periodic table are called ______or ______. Atoms of elements in the same vertical column have the same number of ______, and so these elements also have similar ______.

·  Example: Going down group 17: F, Cl, Br, I, and At all have 7 ______.

à  Atomic Number—the number of ______in an atom’s nucleus.

·  The symbol used to represent atomic number is ______.

·  All atoms of a particular element have the same atomic number.

·  Examples:

-  All hydrogen atoms have ______in their nucleus, and thus have an atomic number of 1.

-  All ______atoms have 82 protons in their nuclei, and thus have an atomic number of 82.

à  Typically, the number of protons in an atom equals the number of electrons in the atom. Therefore, we say that atoms are ______charged.

à  Atoms are considered to be chemically stable when they have their valence shell completely full of electrons. Atoms can gain, lose, or share their electrons in order to get a full valence shell. When an atom either gains one or more electrons or loses one or more electrons, the atom is no longer neutrally charged. When an atom or a group of atoms has either a negative or a positive charge it is called an ______.

à  Isotopes—atoms of an element that have the same number of protons as another atom of that element, but have a different number of ______.

à  Example—isotopes of hydrogen:

Protium Nucleus Deuterium Nucleus Tritium Nucleus

H-1 H-2 H-3

à  Mass Number and Average Atomic Mass

·  ______(amu)—unit used to measure the masses of subatomic particles.

·  Mass Number—the sum of the ______and ______in an atom’s nucleus. Remember: this means ADD them!!

-  Mass number is always a whole number!!

·  Examples:

-  One isotope of carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in the nucleus. Its mass number is 12 (6 + 6 = 12)

-  Another isotope of carbon has 8 neutrons in the nucleus. What is its mass number?

-  An atom of some element has 11 protons and 13 neutrons in the nucleus. What is the element? ______What is its mass number? ______

·  Average Atomic Mass—the weighted ______of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes for an element. This is the number that appears on the periodic table in each element’s block.

-  Average atomic mass is usually not a whole number.

-  Example: the average atomic mass for: Mg is _____ amu; B is ______amu
