    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 - Relative Mass = 1, Relative Charge = +1, Location = Nucleus
    • Electron - Relative Mass = 1/1840, Relative Charge = -1, Location = Orbitals around the nucleus
    • Neutron - Relative Mass = 1, Relative Charge = 0, Location = Nucleus
    • Electron # = Atomic #
    • Neutron # = A - Z

    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

    Mendeleev's Periodic Table

    • Organized the table
    • Identified patterns
    • Predicted properties
    • Classified similar elements
    • Withstood the test of time
    • Listed elements in order of increasing atomic mass
