What are atoms?
Atoms make up everything
What are elements?
They are atoms with the same amount of protons (in the nucleus)
The nucleus is made of….
Protons and neutrons.
Electron shells consist of..
Electrons
The maximum number of electrons in each shell is…
2n(squared)
Electrons =
Protons
Electrons configuration…
Shows how the electrons are arranged. (Ground state)
The atomic number is …
The number if protons.
o
Oxygen
Li
Lithium
Na
Sodium
N
Nitrogen
Ten periodic table is :
In order of increasing atomic number
Periods are…
Rows (horizontal)
Groups are…
Columns (vertical)
Group 1
Alkali metals
Group 2
Alkaline earths
Group 17
Halogens
Group 18
Noble gases (inert gases)
Groups 3-12
The transition metals
The period number is the same as the number of
Shells occupied by the electrons
The groups usually have the last digit of
Electrons
Eg. Group 12 has 2 electrons in the outer shell and group 18 has 8 in the outer shell
Sodium (Na) has 11 electrons and the configuration is 2,8,1.
So period 3 group 1 (there are 3 shells so period 3 and the last digit is 1 so group 1)
Lanthanides and actinides
Are the bottom periods of the periodic table
