Chapter 4: Atomic Structure
The idea of an indivisible particle in all matter, the “atomus”, was first suggested in the 4 th century B.C. by
the philosopher, ________________.
This concept was lost for many centuries until the work of several scientists made key discoveries and
presented increasingly sophisticated models for the atom.
Match the scientist with his key contribution to the model of the atom. Some may be used more
than once.


______________ (symbol =

orbiting around the atom’s nucleus.

______________ (symbol =

______________ (symbol =

in the nucleus of the atom.

.
_________________________ tells the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The number of protons in an atom of an element never changes and the # p+ identifies the element.
___________________________ tells the number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element.
The number of neutrons is found by subtracting the ______________________ from the ____________________.
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of ___________________.
The mass of one proton or one neutron is equal to
(atomic mass unit).
Isotopes - atoms of the same element with the same # of protons but a different # of
(same Atomic #, different Mass # and different # no, same #p+ and e-)
is the number of protons + neutrons for one atom of an element.
_________________________ is the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.

Writing Chemical Formulas
IONIC Compounds (metal + nonmetal)
- The symbol for the positive ion (metal) is written first
- The symbol for the negative ion (non-metal) is written second.
- The charges on each ion are criss-crossed and used as subscripts for the formula but
the positive and negative signs are never used in the subscripts.
- If the subscripts can be divided by the same whole number they must be reduced
to their lowest whole number ratio (empirical formula)
COVALENT Compounds (nonmetal + nonmetal)
- The symbol for the 1st element in the name is written 1st.
- The symbol for the 2nd element is written second.
- Prefixes are used to determine the number to be used as the subscript for each element
- Subscripts are not reduced
IONIC Compounds with 3 or more elements (metal + polyatomic ion)
- The symbol for the positive ion (metal) is written first
- The symbol for the negative ion (polyatomic ion) is written second.
- The charges on each ion are criss-crossed and used as subscripts for the formula
but the positive and negative signs are never used in the subscripts.
- If a subscript other than “1” is used for the polyatomic ion, parentheses must be used
- If the subscripts can be divided by the same whole number they must be reduced
