Atomic Structure
WHAT IS AN ATOM?

o The smallest unit of an


element that can take
part in a chemical
reaction.
o Consists of a central
nucleus surrounded by
one or more electrons.
WHAT IS THE NUCLEUS?
o The central part of an
atom.
o Composed of protons
and neutrons.
o Contains most of an
atom's mass.
WHAT IS A PROTON?

o Positively charged
particle.

o Found within an
atomic nucleus.
WHAT IS A NEUTRON?

o Uncharged particle.

o Found within an atomic


nucleus.
WHAT IS AN ELECTRON?

o Negatively charged
particle.

o Located in shells that


surround an atom's
nucleus.
The structure of the atom
The Ancient Greeks used to believe that everything was made up of
very small particles. I did some experiments in 1808 that proved
this and called these particles ATOMS:

Dalton

ELECTRON –
negative,
mass nearly
NEUTRON – PROTON – nothing
neutral, same positive, same
mass as mass as
proton (“1”) neutron (“1”)
The Atom

Nucleus Electron

Shell or Orbit
The Atom Hydrogen

Proton Electron

Hydrogen has one proton, one electron and NO neutrons


The Atom Helium

Proton Electron

Neutron

Helium has two electrons, two protons and two neutrons


Particle Relative Mass Relative Charge
Proton 1 1
Neutron 1 0
Electron 0 -1
The nucleus of every atom (except
hydrogen) contains two particles:-
• Protons (+ve charge / mass 1amu)
• Neutrons (no charge / mass 1amu)

In energy levels outside the nucleus we


find
• Electrons (–ve charge / mass
1/2000amu)
MOLECULE
• A molecule is substance that contains 2 or
more atoms chemically combined and can
exist alone .

MASS NUMBER = number of


protons + number of neutrons

SYMBOL

PROTON NUMBER = number of


protons in the nucleus of the
atom.
Atoms are neutral because the positive charge of the
nucleus is equal to all of the negative charges of the
electrons added together.

– • 11 electrons
+

• 11 protons

Atoms are neutral because the


numbers of protons and electrons are
equal - the opposite charges cancel.

Electrons in An Atom

An atom
• of an element is electrically neutral; the net charge of an
atom is zero.
• has an equal number of protons and electrons.
number of protons = number of electrons

Aluminum has 13 protons and 13 electrons. The net


(overall) charge is zero.
13 protons (13+) + 13 electrons (13 -) = 0

Mass Number
The mass number

• is equal to the number of protons + the number of
neutrons.

The Periodic Table of the Elements.
This is a way of arranging and classifying
elements according to their atomic number.
There are currently 118 elements in the
periodic table.
The Periodic Table
Fact 1: Elements in the same group have the same number of
electrons in the outer shell (this correspond to their group
number)

H He
Li Be B C N O F Ne
M
Na Al Si P S Cl Ar

E.g. all group 1 metals These elements have These elements


have __ electron in __ electrons in their have __ electrons

The Periodic Table
Fact 2: As you move down through the periods an extra electron
shell is added:

E.g. Lithium has 3

PERIODIC TABLE
The periodic table arranges all the elements
in groups according to their properties.

Vertical
columns are Mendeleev
called GROUPS

Horizontal rows are called PERIODS


PERIODIC TABLE
• PERIOD: There are seven periods. The first period
contain 2 elements: hydrogen and Helium. Periods 2
and 3 contain 8 elements each and they are called
short periods. Periods 4 and 5 contain 18 elements
each and they are called long periods. Elements in
the same period have the same number of electron
shells
• GROUPS: Groups are labeled with Roman numerals
and they are 8 in number. The last group is called
group O.
The Periodic Table of the elements is a useful
way of classifying the elements.
A vertical column of elements in the periodic
table is called a group. Elements in the same
group have the same number of electron in the
outer shells.
The elements in the same group of the periodic
table have similar chemical properties.
The noble gases are a group of very
unreactive elements.
Groups of elements have names: –

Group 1 - The Alkali metals

Between groups 2 and 3 -


The Transition
metals
Group 7 - Group 0 -
The Halogens The Noble gases
PERIODIC TABLE
• FAMILY NAMES OF ELEMENT
• Elements in group 1 are called alkali metals;
• Group 2 elements are called alkaline earth
metals
• Elements in group 7 are called halogens (salt
formers)
• Elements in group O are called rare gases or
noble gases or inert gases
ELEMENTS IN THE SAME GROUP
• Elements in the same group
• Have the same number of electrons on the
outermost shell
• Have similar physical and chemical properties.
• Form ions with similar formula e.g Na+ and K+ in
group 1
• Form compounds with similar chemical formula e.g
CaCl2 and MgCl2 in group 2
Group 1 – The alkali metals
Some facts…
1) These metals all have ___
electron in their outer shell

2) Reactivity increases as you go _______ the group. This is


because the electrons are further away from the _______
every time a _____ is added, so they are given up more easily.

3) They all react with water to form an alkali (hence their


name) and __________, e.g:
Potassium + water potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
2K(s) + 2H2O(l) 2KOH(aq) + H2(g)

Words – down, one, shell, hydrogen, nucleus


Group 0 – The Noble gases
Some facts…
1) All of the noble gases have
a full outer shell, so they are
very _____________

2) They all have low melting and boiling points

3) They exist as single atoms rather then diatomic molecules

4) Helium is lighter then air and is used in balloons


and airships (as well as for talking in a silly voice)

5) Argon is used in light bulbs


(because it is so unreactive)
and argon , krypton and neon
are used in fancy lights
Group 7 – The Halogens
Some facts…

reactivity
Decreasing
1) Reactivity DECREASES
as you go down the group

(This is because the electrons are further away from the


nucleus and so any extra electrons aren’t attracted as
much).
2) They exist as
diatomic molecules (so
that they both have a Cl Cl
full outer shell):
3) Because of this fluorine and chlorine are liquid at room
temperature and bromine is a gas
PERIODIC LAW
The Periodic Law states that the physical and
chemical properties of elements are a periodic
function of their atomic numbers.
METALS AND NON - METALS
• Metals form about 2/3 of the periodic table.
• Elements in the top right- hand corner of the
table are non-metals with a dividing line
between them and metals.
METALS AND NON - METALS
• Metals are elements whose atoms react by losing
electrons. Metals occupy groups I to III. Examples of
metals are: Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Be, Sc, Cu, Zn, etc.
• Non metals are elements whose atoms react by
accepting electrons. Non metals occupy groups V to
VII. Examples of non-metals are: N, O, P, Cl, S, C, etc.
METALLOIDS
• Metalloids are elements that possess both
metallic and non metallic properties. They can
be found in Group IV. Examples of metalloids
are: B, Si, Ge, Sb, etc.
• Metalloids are used in semi-conductor
industry which makes chips for computers,
and also lasers for compact disc players and
light meters for cameras.

ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION
• Electronic configuration is defined as the
arrangement of electrons in an atom based on their
energy levels.
• It is the way in which electrons are arranged in an
atom. It determines the properties of the elements.
• The electrons occupy a series of shells which are
arranged around the nucleus. Each shell is at a
different energy level with the lowest energy level
being the one nearest to the nucleus.
• Shells further away from the nucleus are at a
higher energy level than those closer to the
nucleus.
• Electronic Configuration of elements gives
detailed information about the elements in
relation to the periodic table, namely; atomic
number, group, period and valency.
How shells are filled
• The first electron shell can only hold a
maximum of two electrons.
• The second electron shell can hold a
maximum of eight electrons.
• The third electron shell can also hold a
maximum of eight electrons.
• The fourth electron shell can also hold eight
electrons.
Electron structure

Potassium has 19 electrons.
These are arranged in shells…
The inner shell has __ electrons
The next shell has __ electrons
The next shell has __ electrons
The next shell has the remaining __ electron Electron structure
