Study Notes
Atoms and Elements
- Atoms are the smallest particles of matter. They cannot be broken down further or created or destroyed.
- Elements are pure substances made of only one type of atom.
- There are approximately 90 naturally occurring elements and about 20 others created artificially.
- Elements are arranged in the Periodic Table based on the size of their atoms.
Success Criteria
- Students should be able to define elements, monatomic, diatomic, and the periodic table.
- Describe the key features of the perioidic table, including periods, and groups.
- List the first 20 elements of the periodic table.
- Relate the atomic number and mass number of an element to the number of subatomic particles.
Parts of an Atom
- Atoms have subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons have a positive electrical charge.
- Neutrons are neutral (no charge).
- Electrons have a negative electrical charge.
- Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Molecules
- A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together.
Monoatomic vs Diatomic
- A monoatomic element consists of a single atom.
- A diatomic element is a molecule made from two atoms.
Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on the size of their atoms.
- Elements are represented by their symbols.
- The table shows elements grouped into metals and non-metals.
