Atoms

(WIP)

QuestionAnswer
What is an Atom? The smallest particles into which an element can be divided and still show the chemical properties of that element Atoms are the building blocks of elements, which are the building blocks of matter
What are the particles within an Atom? Protons Neutrons Electrons
Protons are .... charged Positively
Where are protons located The nucleus
The relationship between protons and neutrons Protons and Neutrons join together in the positively charged center of the atom, the nucleus
The role of the proton Determines the identity of element
Symbol for proton p⁺
Neutrons are .... charged No charges
Where are neutrons located The nucleus
The relationship between protons and neutrons Protons and Neutrons join together in the positively charged center of the atom, the nucleus
The role of the neutron Keeps the nucleus together
Symbol for neutron n⁰
Electrons are .... charged Negatively
Where are electrons located Located in orbit around the nucleus
The role of the electron Responsible for reactions, charge & chemical properties
Neutrons configure the mass
Protons add to the mass
Why are there more electrons on the farther orbits Because the atom requires more energy (electrons) to get the same effect as the ones closest that require less energy
Symbol for electron e⁻
Atomic particles are measured in Atomic mass units or amu
1 amu is the size of a Proton
Protons and neutrons are about the same Size
Which is slightly bigger? Protons or neutrons Neutrons are slightly bigger
Electrons are approximately the size of a proton 1/1830
What happens if you add or subtract a proton A new element will occur
Add or subtract an atom A molecule will occur
Add or subtract a neutron An isotope will occur
What is an isotope A variation of a chemical element that has a different number of neutrons in its atomic nucleus, but the same number of protons and electrons
Add or subtract an electron An ion will occur
1st shell holds up to 2
2nd shell holds up to 8
3rd shell holds up to 18
4th shell holds up to 32
What are valence electrons Outer energy levels
Who made the periodic table Dmitri Mendeleev
Group numbers are the Family which come in columns
Group numbers correspond to the amount of Valence electrons is in an atom
If something has 8 valence electrons that means it's Stable
If something has 8 valence electrons that means it's stable with the exception of Helium which has only 2 valence electrons and is still stable
Period numbers are the Periods which come in rows
Period numbers correspond to the amount of Shells that surrounds an atom
Groups have the symbol ___ and comes after the number columns/groups they're in A
Period have the symbol ___ and comes after the number rows/periods they're in n
As a general trend, atomic radius ___ from right to left and top to bottom. Increases
Elements in the same group or family have Similar characteristics or properties.
The properties of Hydrogen do not match the properties of any single group, so it is set apart. It is above Group 1 because it has 1 electron in its outer energy level like Group 1.
Alkali metals are in group 1A
Alkali-Earth Metals 2A
Transition Metals In between
Boron Group 3A
Carbon Group 4A
Nitrogen Group 5A
Oxygen Group 6A
Halogen Group 7A
Nobel Gases 8A
Rare Earth Metals Lanthanide and Actinides
The upper part of the Rare Earth Metals is Lanthanide
The lower part of the Rare Earth Metals is Actinides
Name 10 gasses the periodic table H, He, N, O, F, Ne, Cl, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
Name 2 liquids the periodic table Br, Hg
Alkali Metal Qualities Highly reactive, clay-like, silver, buoyant
Alkaline-Earth Metal Qualities Fairly reactive, silver, found in rocks/rock-like
Transition Metal Qualities Metals and, brightly colored, catalysts
Catalyst meaning Can change it's reactivity
Boron Group Qualities Boron is the only metalloid in this group, the rest are metals
Nitrogen Group Qualities Family includes non-metals, metals and metalloids
Oxygen Group Qualities Most elements in this family share electrons when forming compounds. They usually have very stinky odors
Halogen Group Qualities All non-metals, reactive, bad odor, don't dissolve in water well, reacts with most metals and non-metals, burns flesh
Nobel Gases Qualities Not very reactive, don't compound much, very stable, glows through electrical current
Lanthanide Series Qualities Shiny reactive metals Most found in nature
Actinides Series Qualities Radioactive and unstable Most are man-made & not stable in nature
Metal Qualities Shiny, solid at room temperature, very conductive, malleable, ductile
Malleable (of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.
Ductile (of a metal) able to be drawn out into a thin wire.
Nonmetals Qualities Not shiny, mostly gaseous at room temperature, poor conductors, brittle
Metalloids Qualities Solid at room temperature, brittle, hard, semiconductors
Atomic mass ___ as you move left to right and up to down Increases
Atomic radius size ___ as you move right to left and up to down Increases
Boiling points and melting points are the highest at 14A
Boiling points and melting points are the lowest at 1A and 18A
Boiling points and melting points increase as you go across and down the periodic table, vary as you go across the periodic table.
Solubility ___ as you go up and left to right on the periodic table Increase
Solubility Able to be dissolved
Reactivity of Elements are lowest around 13A to 14
Reactivity of Elements are highest at 1A and 18A
The Nobel gases are ____ when it comes to reactivity Inert
In general, Elements located on the left of the Periodic Table are most reactive metals, least reactive metals in the middle, and nonmetals on the right.
Name me all the metalloids B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po
Name me all the non-metals H, He, C, N, O, F, Ne, P, S, Cl, Ar, Se, Br, Kr, I, Xe, At, Rn
Everything else is metal
Hydrogen is not inert
