Announcements: We will meet in the computer lab, Room 301, tomorrow, the 17th.
Academic Content Standards PHYSICAL SCIENCES • Benchmark A: Describe that matter is made of minute particles called atoms and atoms are comprised of even smaller components. Explain the structure and properties of atoms.
What is an atom? • The smallest particles of matter are called atoms. Neutrons have no charge Protons have a positive charge Electrons have a negative charge
Atomic Charges • If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive. • If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative. • Positive and negative charged atoms are called ions.
The Periodic Table of Elements • All the different types of atoms are called elements and are organized onto the periodic table. • Each element has a different number of protons/electrons. • All atoms of the same type of element contain the same number of protons. This is called the atomic number. • The atomic mass is shown at the bottom of the element; it is a combination of the weight of protons and neutrons in that element
The Periodic Table of Elements • The same type of element will always have the same number of protons, but that element can differ in the number of neutrons. This is called an isotope; each isotope of an element has a different atomic mass Example: Carbon-12 Carbon-14
The Periodic Table of Elements • Periodic Table is organized to relate similar properties together • Horizontal rows are called periods and indicate how many energy levels (shells) the elements have (e.g. Elements in period two have two energy shells to fill) • Vertical columns are called groups or families and show how many electrons are in the outermost energy shell • The table is usually color-coded to show what physical state the elements are in
