Chapter 4:Matter Atomic Structure, Isotopes, Periodic Table, Valence Electrons
Matter • Anything that has volume and takes up space • everything in the physical world that surrounds you is composed of matter • States of Matter: • solid • liquid • gas • plasma
Elements • All matter is made of substances called elements • element: substance that cannot be broken down into simplier substances by physical or chemical means.
Atom • The smallest portion of an element that retains its chemical properties is called an atom. • Composed of subatomic particles • Proton: carries a positive (+) charge • Neutron: uncharged particle (neutral) • Electron: carries a negative (-) charge • The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons.
Atoms and the Periodic Table Atomic Number Symbol Name Atomic Mass Atomic number equals the number of __protons____ or _electrons__. Atomic mass equals the number of ___protons___ + __neutrons____. *the mass of the electrons is ignored because it is so small
Isotopes • Elements that have different number of neutrons but the same number of protons are called isotopes. • this change in neutrons does not affect the chemical characteristics the mass of the atom IS affected. • Carbon (atomic # 6) has a mass of 12 and normally has 6 N . • Isotope of Carbon has a mass of 14 and 8 N this isotope is called Carbon 14. • Videos: 1, 2 • The nuclei of some isotopes are unstable and decay this process emits energy (radiation).
Visualizing Atoms • Energy Levels: zones around nucleus where electrons are likely to be found • Simplest rules: 2, 8, 8, 18 • True 2, 8, 18, 32 filling rules learned in Chemistry • Valence electrons: electrons in outermost energy level • Determines chemical behavior • Predicts how elements will behave with others • Elements with same number of valence e-behave in similar ways • Bohr model

How are elements organized?(Review your Energy Level Worksheet. What trends did you notice?
Trends in the Periodic Table • Valence electrons increase across rows; least most stable • Elements with same # of VE down columns
