Bellwork Fri. Sept. 7
On your bellwork sheet write “Bill Nye” and on a separate sheet of paper copy down the following:
• All matter is made of ________ which are so small we can't even see them with a microscope.
• Tiny _____________ orbit the nucleus. • Atoms are like letters and when combined they make
______________which are like words.• Different materials have unique atoms. It is the number of
______________ in the nucleus that makes each materials atom unique.• ______________is a fundamental building block of all life on our planet.
It is so important it has its own entire branch of chemistry - organic chemistry.

Atom
ATOMS, are the basic particle from which all matter is made. They are so small they cannot be seen even with a microscope.
Elements ELEMENTS are one or
more identical ATOMS and each element has its own unique atom that looks different than all the other elements.
Examples
An ELEMENT is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance by chemical or physical means.
Such as:
•aluminum
•zinc
•oxygen
Subatomic Particles
Each element’s atom is unique due to the number of each subatomic particle that it contains.
Nucleus contains:• Protons – positive + charge• Neutrons – neutral / no charge Orbiting the nucleus are:• Electrons – negative - charge
The Periodic Table
The PERIODIC TABLE contains information about all the different ELEMENTS.
Natural vs. Synthetic
The majority of the known elements are naturally occurring, however all elements above 92, are SYNTHETIC meaning they were created in a lab.
Protons (+)
Elements are organized on the periodic table by their ATOMIC NUMBER, which is the number of PROTONS (+) in the nucleus.
Electrons (-)
One of an atom’s main goals in life is to remain neutral. Since protons have a positive charge, it would need to have the same number of negative charges (electrons) to remain neutral. The ATOMIC NUMBER, therefore tells us the number of electrons in a neutral atom as well.
5 Positive + -5 Negative = 0 Neutral
Isotopes Atoms of the same element
can have different numbers of NEUTRONS; the different possible versions of which are called ISOTOPES.
Atomic Mass
The ATOMIC MASS listed
on the periodic table is an average of the mass of all known isotopes of that element.
You can also think of it as the number of PROTONS and NEUTRONS.
Neutrons
Round the atomic mass to the nearest whole number and subtract the atomic #
Ex: K 39 – 19 = 20 neutrons.
Symbols
Hg – Mercury Au – Gold Pb – Lead Sn – Tin Ag – Silver Cu – Copper Fe – Iron K – Potassium Na - Sodium
Black = Solid Blue = Liquid Red = Gas
Energy Levels
There are up to seven ENERGY LEVELS within the electron cloud on which the electrons orbit the nucleus.
The PERIOD (row) on which an element can be found will tell you how many energy levels there are in an atom of that element.
Electron Configurations
1st energy level holds 2 electrons
2nd energy level holds 8 electrons
3rd energy level holds 18 electrons
Valence Electrons
The electrons that reside in the outermost energy level are the only ones involved in chemical bonding and they are called VALENCE ELECTRONS.
You can find out at a glance how many valence electrons an element has by looking at the GROUP NUMBER.
Groups / Families
• Elements in the same GROUP / FAMILY (column) have similar properties.
• The groups are numbered 1 – 18 from left to right and are typically named after the first element at the top of the group.
• Some groups have other names they are known by however:

Metalloids
Along the stair step line – (7) METALLOIDS that have
properties of metals and non-metals are very useful. Especially for their varying abilities to conduct electricity (i.e. SILICON silicon semi-conductors in computer chips).
Non-Metals
The NON-METALS are not good conductors but they combine with others readily to form compounds.
Many of these elements are crucial in creating and maintaining life (C H N O P S).
Group 17
HALOGENS - meaning “salt forming” Form salts when combined with Alkali Metals
They are DIATOMIC,
meaning they never exist as a single atom.
