Poll
How comfortable are you with understanding what atoms are made of and how the atom is structured?
VERY COMFORTABLE!!!
Eh, pretty comfortable
I get it a little...
What are atoms?
3
What are atoms made of?
Atoms are made of Protons and Neutrons, located in the Nucleus, and Electrons around the outside of the nucleus.
4
Multiple Select
What particles are atoms made of? (Check ALL that apply:)
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
Nucleus
5
Multiple Select
What particles are in the nucleus?
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
Nucleus
6
Multiple Select
Which particle is outside the nucleus?
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
Nucleus
7
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons:
Protons and neutrons have mass.
Electrons don't have mass.
8

14
Valence Electrons
Electrons on the outter shell are called "valence electrons."
The first shell can hold 2 electrons.
The 2nd shell can hold 8 electrons.
The 3rd shell can hold 8 electrons.
15
Multiple Choice

Reactivity
The noble gasses (group 18) are non-reactive.
Group 1 and 17 are the most reactive.
If the atom has 1 valence electron it is easily lost and reacts easily (group 1)
If the atom has 7 valence electrons it wants to grab 1 more and reacts easily (group 17)
19
Multiple Choice
Which atom is the most reactive?
20
Multiple Choice
Which atom is the most reactive?
21
Multiple Choice
Which atom is the least reactive?
22
Periodic Table
Groups & Periods
Metals, Metalloids, Nonmetals
23
Groups
Up and down
Group numbers tell us the number of valence electrons (Group 17 = 7 valence electrons)
Elements in the same group have similar reactivities
24
Reactive Groups
Group 1: most reactive metals (1 valence electron)
Group 17 (7A): most reactive nonmetals (7 valence electrons)
Group 18 (8A): Nobel Gases--- least reactive, most stable, inert (8 valence electrons)
25
Periods
Horizontal (side-to-side)
Period number tells us the number of energy levels (rings) in an atom
26
Multiple Choice
Of the following atomic models, which represents the most reactive atom?
A
B
C
D
27
Multiple Choice
Which two elements have the same number of energy levels?
S and Se
Si and Sb
Cu and Zn
Ar and Kr
28
Metals
Luster (shiny)
Malleable (bends)
Good conductor (moves heat & electricity)
29
Metalloids
Luster (shiny)
Brittle (breaks)
Semi-conductor (kind of moves heat & electricity)
30
Nonmetals
Dull (not shiny)
Brittle (breaks)
Insulators (does not move heat & electricity)
