Electron Configuration superscripts represents ________ ___ _________ in each element number of electrons
Noble Gas Notation shorthand configuration uses the electron configuration of the noble gas
what does Noble Gas Notation look like? Na = (Ne) 3e1 square brackets uses noble gas before it
Valenic Electrons outermost occupied shell highest energy
Group # = ________________________ # of valence electrons
Electron Dot Symbol used to represent valance electrons don't pair until you have too
Electron Dot Symbol is also know as? Lewis Dot Structure
Atomic Size measured by atomic radius (distance from nucleus to outer edge of valence shell)
Atomic Size __________ down a group & going across a row increases (more layers of electrons) decreases (as the # of protons in nucleus increases)
Ionization Energy the energy required to remover an electron from an atom
Ionization Energy _________ going down a group & ___________ from left to right across a period as the protons inreases decreases (electrons further from nucleus) increases
atom the basic building block of matter composed of a nucleus and an electron cloud
Periodic Table groups of elements have similar properties and these elements could be arranged in a schematic way
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are found in 4 types of biological moecules proteins carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids
Major Minerals Macronutrients one of the seven elements present in the body in small amounts Potassium Magnesium Calcium
Trace Elements Micronutrients an element required in the daily diet in small quanties less than 15 mg
chemical formula uses element symbols to show the identity of the elements forming a compound and subscripts to show the ratio of atoms contained in the compound ex. H2O
all matter is composed of the same basic building blocks called? atoms
Nucleus dense core containing protons and neutrons
most of the mass of an atom resides in the> nucleus
Electron cloud composed of electrons that move rapidly in the almost empty space surrounding the nucleus
the electron cloud comprises most of the ______ of an atom volume
Atomic Mass Unit defines the mass of individual atoms relative to a standard mass
Atomic # is the # of protons in the nucleus in periodic table it is the # above element
Mass # Protons + Neutrons in periodic table it is the # below element

Diamond hard because it contains a dense 3-d network of carbon atom sin a six-membered rings
Graphite a slippery black substance used as a lubricant used in pencils the softest of carbons
the chemical properties of an element are determined by the # of ________ in the atom electrons
Electrons do not move _______ in space. confined to _______ _______. giving it a ________ ________ freely specific region particular engery
Electrons occupy discrete _______ _________. energy levels
The energy of electrons is quantized
quantized means the energy is restricted to specific values
the farther a shell is from the nucleus, the ______ its volume becomes, & the ______ electrons it can hold larger more
electrons closer to the nucleus are held _____ _______ and are _________ in energy more tightly lower
Electrons farther from the nucleus are held ______ _____ and are ________ in energy less tightly higher
orbital a region of space where the probability of finding an electron is high
each orbital holds how many electrons 2
why would a s orbital have lower energy than another orbital in the same shelf because the electrons are kept closer to the nucleus
why would a p orbital have more energy than that of a s orbital in the same shelf because the electrons are further from the nucleus

The size of atoms ______ down a column of the periodic table, as the ________ _____ are father from the nucleus increases valence electrons
the size of atoms _____ across a row of the periodic table as the number of protons __________. decreases increases
An _______ # of protons pulls the electrons _______ to the nucleus, so the atom gets ___________ increasing closer smaller
ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from a neutral atom
cation positively charged has fewer electrons than the neutral atom
Ionization energies ______ ______ a column of the periodic table as the ________ _________ get farther from the postively charged nucleus. decreases down valence electrons farther
Ionization energies generally __________ across of the table as the number of protons in the nucleus _________ increases increases
Ionization Energy increases as you...... go diagonally up (from left to right across periodic table) more energy is required to remove electron because of fewer shells; nucleus acts a gravity, has stronger hold on electrons start from Fr go diagonally up to F
this group is not included in ionization energy noble gases
Atomic Size increases as you go diagonally down (from right to left across the period table) everything is getting pulled way from nucleus due to increase of valence shells
