Study Notes
Atoms and Elements
- All matter is made up of atoms.
- An element is a pure substance made of one type of atom.
- The periodic table organizes elements according to their chemical and physical properties.
Atomic Structure
- The atom is the smallest particle of matter.
- It cannot be created, destroyed, or broken down further.
- The nucleus is the central part of the atom, with most of the atom's mass.
- The nucleus consists of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons.
- Surrounding the nucleus are negatively charged electrons.
Atoms and Elements: Key Terms
- Atom: The smallest particle of matter.
- Element: A pure substance made of only one type of atom.
- Monatomic: Consisting of a single atom.
- Diatomic: A molecule consisting of two atoms.
- Periodic Table: A table that organizes elements based on their atomic number and properties.
- Period: A horizontal row of elements in the periodic table.
- Group: A vertical column of elements in the periodic table.
- Atomic Number: The number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
- Atomic Mass: The average mass of the atoms of that element.
Elements: Properties
- Elements cannot be broken down further.
- All elements have different properties and structures.
- The two main groups of elements are metals and nonmetals.
- Most metals are solid at room temperature and form lattice structures.
- Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
The Periodic Table
- Arranges elements based on the size of their atoms.
- All elements are represented by their symbol.
- Symbols use capital letters.
Learning Intentions
- Define and describe the periodic table's key features (periods, groups, etc).
- Relate atomic/mass number to the number of subatomic particles.
More Key Concepts
- Everything on the periodic table is electrically neutral. (Number of protons = Number of electrons.)
- Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
- Atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
Additional Details (First 20 Elements)
- You do not need to memorize the names/symbols for all elements for this unit.
- However, knowing the names and symbols of the first 20 elements will be helpful.
- This will help with questions, exercises, and further studies of chemistry concepts.
