Atoms and P. Table Lesson

YOU NEED A PERIODIC TABLE From the teacher. Get one now.



READ the next two slides carefully to help you answer questions later.

​Read this and remember the difference in an atom and an element.
Atom:
smallest unit of matter that is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

You need to know the LOCATION and CHARGES of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

READ THIS to remember for a question:
Element:
atoms that all have the same number of protons in their nucleus.  There are 118 of them on the periodic table. They are made of the same kinds of atoms.

Multiple Choice

What is the difference in an atom and an element?

• An atom is a group of different elements combined together.
• An element can exist as a single atom only.
• An atom is a single unit of matter, while an element is a substance made of one type of atom.
• Atoms are larger than elements in size.

Fill in the Blanks

On the periodic table, this is what the columns are called (vertical, or up and down is the direction).

They have the same number of valence electrons and similar properties.

Fill in the Blanks

On the periodic table, this is what the rows are called (horizontal, or across is the direction).

Each one has one more proton and electron than the one before it.

Multiple Choice

A student creates a model to compare the locations and charges

of electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Which model accurately represents each subatomic particle?

Multiple Choice

Which statement is true about the nucleus of an atom?

• The nucleus contains electrons and neutrons, and it has a negative net charge.

• The nucleus contains electrons and protons and it has a neutral net charge.

• The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, and it has a neutral net charge.

• The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, and it has a positive net charge.

Multiple Choice

Which particles are located in the nucleus?

• neutron and electron

• proton and

  electron

• proton and

  neutron

• only protons

• only neutrons

Hotspot

Which one is a valence electron?

Hotspot

Which one is the nucleus?

Multiple Choice

Where would a proton be placed in this model that a student made of an atom?

• inside the nucleus

• on either of the two orbits

• between the two orbits

• between the first orbit and the nucleus

Fill in the Blanks

The number of _______ _________ in

the outer shell of an atom determines which

group it’s located in.

Fill in the Blanks

The number of orbital

on an atom locates its period number (or row) on the periodic table.
