1、The Atom and the Periodic TableAtomsnEverything in the Universe is made of stuff(also known as matter).nThe building blocks are the same,whether we are looking at Stars or Starbursts.jakehowlett/tuckshop/wrappers/sweets/fruits/starburst.jpglibrary.thinkquest.org/12659/media/solar_system/sun/sun.jpgA
2、tomsnMatter is made up of Atoms.nAtoms are the smallest particle of an element.nThey are so small that:1 sheet of paper=10,000 atoms thick1 drop of water has 2 trillion atoms of oxygen and 4 trillion atoms of hydrogen.nThe three parts of an atom are:ProtonsNeutronsElectronsAtoms ProtonsnThere are th
3、ree types of particles that make up atomsnThe first type of particle is called the PROTON.nProtons are found in the nucleus of an atom.nProtons have a positive(+)charge.nProtons have a mass of 1 a.m.u.Atoms-NeutronsnAnother particle is the NEUTRON.nNeutrons are also found in the nucleus of an atom.n
4、Neutrons have no charge.We call this neutral.nNeutrons have a mass of 1 a.m.u.nNeutrons act like the glue that holds the nucleus together.Atoms-ElectronsnElectrons are the third type of particle inside of an atom.nThey are very small,and exist outside of the nucleus in the electrons clouds or shells

16、elements that had not yet been discovered.nThis is the basis of the Periodic Table that we use today.Periodic Table-HistoryNow the Periodic Table that we use is arranged by Atomic Number instead of Mass.Henry Moseley reordered the Periodic Table by Atomic NumberGroups and FamiliesnThe columns on the
17、 periodic table are called groups and families.nThe groups are the numbers;the families are the namesnThey are organized by the number of valence electronsAlkali MetalsnGroup 1AnOnly one valence electronnVERY reactive!nHydrogen is NOT includedAlkaline Earth MetalsnGroup 2AnTwo valence electronsnNot
