    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atomic number: Represents the number of protons within an atom of a specific element, defining its identity.
    • Atomic weight: The average mass of the isotopes of an element, factoring in their relative abundance.
    • Electron: A negatively charged subatomic particle orbiting the atom's nucleus.
    • Isotope: Atoms of the same element, possessing the same atomic number (same number of protons) but vary in the number of neutrons, thus differing in atomic weight.
    • Mass number: The total number of protons and neutrons combined within an atom's nucleus.
    • Neutron: A neutral subatomic particle residing within the nucleus of an atom.
    • Nucleus: The central core of an atom, housing both protons and neutrons.
    • Proton: A positively charged subatomic particle located within the atom's nucleus.

    Periodic Table Organization

    • Group: A vertical column of elements in the periodic table sharing similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.
    • Metal: Characterized by properties like hardness, shininess, malleability (can be hammered into thin sheets), ductility (can be drawn into wires), and excellent conductivity of heat and electricity.
    • Nonmetal: Exhibits contrasting properties to metals, often being soft, non-malleable, non-ductile, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
    • Period: A horizontal row of elements in the periodic table arranged by increasing atomic number, showcasing a recurring pattern of physical and chemical properties.
    • Periodic table: A structured arrangement of elements organized by increasing atomic number, revealing a repeating pattern of physical and chemical properties.

    Atomic Structure

    • Atomic number defines the identity of an element.
    • Protons are positively charged particles located in the nucleus of an atom.
    • Neutrons have no charge and are found in the atom's nucleus.
    • Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
    • Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that orbit the nucleus.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element but have different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers.
    • Atomic weight represents the average mass of an element's isotopes, considering their relative abundance.

    Periodic Table

    • The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number, revealing recurring patterns in their chemical and physical properties.
    • Periods are horizontal rows in the periodic table, indicating the number of electron shells in an atom.
    • Groups are vertical columns in the periodic table, representing elements with similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.

    Element Classification

    • Metals generally exhibit properties like hardness, shininess, malleability, ductility, and good conductivity of heat and electricity.
    • Nonmetals are typically soft, non-malleable, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.
