    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atoms - The smallest particle into which an element can be divided without losing any of the properties of that element
    • Element - A pure substance that cannot be divided into any simpler substances by any chemical process

    Subatomic Particles

    • Proton - +1 charge, relative mass of 1

    • Electron - -1 charge, relative mass of 0

    • Neutron - 0 charge, relative mass of 1

    • Number of electrons = atomic number

    • Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

    Groups and Periods

    • Group - A vertical column that contains elements with the same number of electrons in the valence or outermost shell

    • Period - A horizontal row that contains elements with the same number of electron shells

    • Group 1 - Alkali Metals

    • Group 2 - Alkali Earth Metals

    • Group 7 - Halogens

    • Group 8 - Noble Gases (inert gases)

    Historical Development of Periodic Table

    • Developed by Dmitri Mendeleev
    • Organized the elements
    • Identified patterns
    • Predicted properties
    • Classified and arranged
    • Withstood the test of time
    • Listed elements in order of increasing atomic mass
