Atomic Structure
The nucleus
Protons
Charge +1, mass 1
No of protons determines what element an atom is
Neutrons
Charge 0, mass 1
Isotopes of an element have the SAME NO OF PROTONS BUT DIFFERENT NOS OF NEUTRONS
Have the SAME chemical properties as they have the same number of electrons
Electrons
Charge -1, mass v. small (1/1836 - approx. 0)
ATOMS of an element have equal numbers of protons and electrons
Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become IONS
Metal atoms lose electrons to become positive ions - CATIONS
Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become negative ions - ANIONS
Orbit the nucleus in energy "levels" or "shells"
A full outer energy shell is stable
Noble gases have full outer shells and are unreactive or INERT
Electrons fill the inner energy levels before filling the outer energy levels
Maximum no of electrons in each energy level = 2,8,8
Row on periodic table (period) = no of electron shells
Group no on periodic table = no of electrons IN OUTER SHELL
