Resource summary
C1.1.1 Atoms + C.1.1.2 The periodic table
All substances are made up of atoms
Element
A substance that is made up of only one type of atom
There are about 100 different elements
Which are shown in the periodic table, grouped into similar properties (a 'group' is one vertical column)
They are also shown as metals...
...and non-metals
Grouped in the periodic table
C1.1.2 The periodic table
Elements in the same group have the same no. of electrons in their outer shells
Giving them similar properties
The elements in Group 0 are called the noble gases
They are unreactive- their atoms have a stable arrangement of electrons
Each element is represented by a chemical symbol e.g O for Oxygen, Na for Sodium etc..
(These will be given to you in the exam)
An atom has a small central nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons
Around which there are sub-atomic particles called electrons
Relative charges: Protons: +1. Neutron: 0. Electron: -1.
In an atom, no. of protons = no. of electrons
Meaning atoms have no overall charge
All atoms of a particular element have the same number of electrons
and atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons
Atomic number
The number of protons in an atom of an element
Mass number
The sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom
Electrons
... each occupy particular energy levels (or 'shells')
They occupy the lowest available energy level (innermost available shells)
The first 3 innermost shells fill up as: 2, 8, 8
