2Chapter 1 Section 1 Elements and AtomsWhy are
elements sometimes called the building blocks of
matter?
- All matter (anything that has mass and takes up
space) is composed of one element or a
combination of two or more elements
3What is a compound?
- A pure substance made of two or more elements
that are combined chemically Ex. Sodium Chloride
(table salt)
4What is a Mixture?
- Two or more substances (elements, compounds, or
both) that are in the same place but not
chemically combined
5What is the structure of an atom?
- An atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by one
or more electrons - The smallest particle of an element
6How did atomic theory develop and change?
- Atomic theory grew as a series of models that
developed from experimental evidence. As more
evidence was collected, the theory and models
were revised
7What were some of the atomic theories and models?
- Daltons atomic theory atoms could not be
broken down - Thomson and smaller parts of atoms an atom that
consisted of negative charges (electrons)
scattered throughout a ball of positive charge - Rutherford and the nucleus An atom was mostly
empty space. Electrons moved around a small,
positively charged (protons) nucleus in the
center of the atom - Bohrs model Electrons move in certain orbits
- A cloud of electrons Electrons can be anywhere
outside the nucleus - The modern atomic model Discovery of the
neutron
8What is a nucleus and what is inside?
- The nucleus is the tiny, central core of an atom
that contains protons and neutrons - Protons Have a positive electric charge ()
- Neutrons Have no charge neutral
9What is the third type of particle that moves
around the nucleus?
- Electrons Very energetic particles that move
rapidly in all directions electrons carry a
negative charge (-)
10In an atom, what does the number of protons equal?
- The number of electrons
- Therefore if an atom has 6 protons it would have
6 electrons to balance the charge
11How do electrons move around the nucleus?
- Electrons move around the nucleus so rapidly it
is impossible to know where they are at a
particular time
12Section 2 Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table
How is the reactivity of elements related to
valence electrons in atoms?
- The number of valence electrons in an atom
determines many properties of that element,
including the ways in which the atom can bond
with other atoms
13What are the valence electrons?
- The electrons farthest from the nucleus
- Only these electrons are involved in bonding
- Known as the face of the atom
14How do you show the number of valence electrons?
- An electron dot diagram
- This includes the symbol for an element
surrounded by dots - Each dot stands for one valence electron
15What happens when atoms form bonds with each
other?
- Either the number of valance electrons increases
to a total of 8, or all the valance electrons are
lost - Atoms become less reactive chemically stable
16What is a chemical bond?
- A chemical bond is the force of attraction that
holds two atoms together as a result of the
rearrangement of electrons between them - Electrons may be transferred from one atom to
another, or they may be shared between the atoms - Reactions occur when bonds are formed or broken
Covalent bond
17What is the atomic number?
- The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
18How are the elements organized?
- Elements are arranged from left to right and top
to bottom in order of increasing atomic number - Remember! The number of protons is the same as
the number of electrons
19On the periodic table what is a group, or family?
- Elements in the same column, up and down
- Numbers 1-18
20On the periodic table, what is a period?
- A row across the table
- Atomic number increases one at a time as you move
from left to right across the table
21How do you compare the families of elements?
- Each family has its own characteristic properties
based on its number of valence electrons - Noble Gases
- Reactive Nonmetals
- Reactive metals
22What are the Noble Gases?
- Group 18 elements are known as the noble gases,
or inert (inactive) gases - All these elements (besides helium, which is
stable with 2) have 8 valence electrons so they
dont easily react with other atoms
23What are the reactive nonmetals?
- Group 17, known as the halogen family are very
reactive - These elements have 7 valence electrons
therefore they react easily with other elements
who atoms can give up electrons
24What are reactive metals?
- Group 1, alkali metal family very reactive
- If alkali metals lose 1 electron they are left
with zero valence electrons and become more
chemically stable - Hydrogen is located above because it only has 1
valence electron
25What are metalloids?
- Several elements that lie along a zigzag line
between the metals and nonmetals - They can behave as either metals or nonmetals
26What does the periodic table tell you about atoms
and the properties of elements?
- As the number of protons (or atomic number)
increases, the number of electrons also
increases. As a result, the properties of the
elements change in a regular way across a period
