The Periodic Table of the Elements All matter is composed of elements. All of the elements are composed of atoms. An atom is the smallest part of an element which still retains the properties of that element.
All of the elements are listed on the Periodic Table by their Chemical Symbol The chemical symbol for every element is either one capital letter or one capital letter plus a small letter For example: C = carbon Ca = calcium Cl = chlorine Cr = chromium
Chemical Symbols Chemical Symbols represent name of element consist of one to two letters and start with capital 1-Letter Symbols 2-Letter Symbols C carbon Co cobalt N nitrogen Ca calcium F fluorine Al aluminum O oxygen Mg magnesium 3
Refer to Table 4.2 on Page 97 for list of the more common elements and their symbols.
All of the elements on the Periodic Table are arranged in vertical columns called Groups, and in horizontal rows called Periods. All of the groups have numbers and they are either A groups or B groups running from left to right on the Periodic Table

Groups Columns of elements define element groups. Elements within a group share several common properties. Periods Rows of elements are called periods. The period numbers increase as you go from top to bottom on the periodic table. The number of elements in a period increases as you move down the periodic table.
Using grid coordinates (like a checkerboard) each element can be located on the Periodic Table. Refer to Figure #4.2 on Page 100

STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM: Particles that are smaller than the atom are called subatomic particles. The three main subatomic particles that form an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The center of the atom is called the nucleus. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom.
Atomic Number The atomic number is specific for each element. is the same for all atoms of an element. is equal to the number of protons in an atom. appears above the symbol of an element. Atomic Number Symbol 11 Na 16
14 ----------Atomic number Si 28.09 -------- Mass number
An atom is the smallest part of an element which still retains the properties of that element. An isotope is another form of an element having a different number of neutrons.
An element's or isotope's atomic number tells how many protons are in its atoms. An element's or isotope's mass number tells how many protons and neutrons in its atoms.

Every element, standing alone, in its neutral or uncombined state, MUST have an overall electrical charge of ZERO. That means that the number of electrons (negatives) must equal the number of protons (positives).
Atoms Are Neutral For neutral atoms, the net charge is zero. 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 Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. 26

Elements: Each element has a fixed number of positively charged protons in its nucleus and an equal number of electrons orbiting the nucleus. For example, hydrogen (H) has one proton and one electron, but lead (Pb) has 82 protons and 82 electrons. There are about 115 known elements of which 82 are naturally abundant.

This would be the Periodic Table Representation for the normal (stable) isotope of carbon: C 6 12 This indicates that the normal isotope of carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons
Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes.
Isotopes Isotopes are atoms of the same element have different mass numbers have same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. 37

All atoms of any given element have the same mass. The mass of an element is the number beneath its chemical symbol on the periodic table. It represents the average mass of the isotopes that compose that element, weighted according to the natural abundance of each isotope of that element.
See Page 113 The atomic mass of chlorine is: 1.) due to all the Cl isotopes. 2.) not a whole number. 3.) the average of two isotopes: 35 Cl and 37 Cl.
Electrons spin and rotate around the outside of the nucleus. Only a certain number of electrons can be in an energy level at the same time. The octet rule says that atoms can only have a limited number of electrons in each electron shell.
Octet Rule: The first (innermost) shell is filled with 2 electrons. All of the rest of the shells are filled with 8 electrons
The octet rule: Shell Number 1 2 3 4 5 Number of electrons 2 8 8 8 8 (18) (32)
Helium atom model This helium (He) model displays two valence electrons located in its outermost energy level. Helium is a member of the noble gases and contains two protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The valence electrons are the electrons in the last shell or energy level of an atom. For the A Groups on the Periodic Table, the Group Number indicates the number of valence electrons for every element in that group. Elements in group IA have 1 valence electron. Elements in group IIA have 2 valence electrons.
The number of valence electrons of an element is determined by its periodic table group (vertical column) in which the element is categorized. FOR THE A GROUPS ONLY, the number of the group identifies how many valence electrons are contained within the elements listed under that particular column.
In the electron level arrangement for the first 18 elements electrons are placed in energy levels (1, 2, 3, etc.), beginning with the lowest energy level there is a maximum number in each energy level according to the octet rule. Energy level Number of electrons 1 2 (up to He) 2 8 (up to Ne) 3 8 (up to Ar) 4 2 (up to Ca) 58
Example: 1 The electronic configurations of some of the elements are detailed below. How many valence electrons do the following have? (a) Al : 2, 8, 3 (Group 3A) (b) Mg: 2, 8, 2 (Group 2A) (c) Cl : 2, 8, 7 (Group 7A) (d) Ca : 2, 8, 8, 2 (Group 2A)
Learning Check Write the electron level arrangement for each: N = 2, 5 Cl = 2, 8, 7 K = 2, 8, 8, 1 60
All atoms will tend to gain or lose electrons in order to complete their outer shell. Metals will generally lose their outer (valence) electrons to complete their outer shell. Nonmetals will tend to gain electrons to complete their outer shell. Metalloids may do either.
