Periodic Table of Elements
-Just like the 26 letters of the alphabet combine to form all the words in the English
language, the 100 or so elements combine to form everything that exists in the world
-About 90 of the elements on the PT are found naturally in nature, the rest have been
created in a laboratory
-Any material made of one type of atom is classified as an ______________________
-The Periodic Table is organized into rows and columns
-Each vertical column is called a ____________________ or____________________
-Elements within the same group have similar properties EX. Au, Ag, Cu
-Each horizontal row is called a ____________________
-Properties of the elements gradually change when you move through a period
-Elements get smaller when you move from _________________ to ______________.
How to Read the Periodic Table
-Each element is designated by its _____________________________
-Some symbols do not match actual element name because they were named
under their ________________________________,
-The first letter of an atomic symbol is ____________________ and the second letter
is _______________________
-The atomic number is the special I.D. of the element
It can tell you how many _________________________ are in the element
-_____________________have an electric charge _____________
-Electrons are _____________________________________________ in an element
-_____________________ have an electric charge _____________
Atomic # = _______________________=________________________
-The atomic mass of an element is the number at the _______________of the square
-Atomic mass is the sum of the __________________________________ in the atom
-_____________________ have an electric charge ______________
Atomic mass = ______________________+_____________________
The _____________________ of an atom contains all the protons and neutrons

Isotopes
-Atoms of the ________________________element that contain _________________
numbers of _______________________ are called Isotopes.
-We identify isotopes by their ___________________________. The mass number is
the total number of protons and neutrons it contains.
Mass # = _______________________ + ________________________
One way to express isotopes
Mass Number

Atomic Number
The total number of neutrons in an isotope is to subtract its atomic number from the
mass number.

Number of Neutrons
Example
 How many Protons?
 How many Neutrons?
 How many Protons?
 How many Neutrons?
Atomic mass is the ___________________________________ of an element and its
various isotopes.
Measured in ______________________________________ (amu)
Example: Imagine 100 students take a test worth 100 points. If all students scored an
80 then the average would be an 80%. But what would happen if one student gets a
100%? It would raise the average slightly.
Same thing happens with isotopes
Element X has 45 protons and 50 neutrons, while Element Y has 50 protons and 45
neutrons
Same, Different, Isotope?
Element A has 13 protons and 15 neutrons, while Element B has 13 protons and 14
neutrons
Same, Different, Isotope?
Electromagnetic Spectrum
All types of electromagnetic radiation share common characteristics:
◦ ____________________________
 c - Speed of light (in a vacuum) = 3.0 x 108 m/s constant
 λ – ___________________________
 ν - ____________________________
_____________________________________-set of frequencies of the
electromagnetic wave emitted by atoms of the element.
Each element is unique.
Flame gives off colors
Quantum Model
The ____________________________ describes the probability of finding an electron
in a given region of space called an _________________________.
n = __________________________________
Major energy levels
Larger n, the further away electron is from nucleus and the higher its energy
Values of n are whole numbers from 1  infinity
l = _____________________________________
Designates the shape of the orbital
Values of l are whole numbers from
l = 0 to n – 1
N=2
L= 0 n-1
L=0,1
L Value
Letter
Shape
Ml= _____________________________________
Designates the orientation of the orbital in space
Values of m are whole numbers:
-l  0  +l
For example, if l = 1 calculate m
Therefore, m = -1, 0, +1
Ms=_____________________________________
Describes the direction of an electron’s spin
Electrons spin on their axis either clockwise or counterclockwise
Only two possible values: +1/2 or -1/2
Quantum numbers (n, l, ml, and ms) attempt to locate where electrons in an atom
“should” be
Quantum numbers are analogous to the information give on a ticket stub: Stadium,
Section, Row, and Seat
 n=4
 l=

_______________________________ is a way to show how many electrons are in an
orbital for a given element. They can be shown with arrows.
Take what we just learned with electron configuration but take it a step further.
Each line can hold up to _________ electrons.

S= ____
P= ____ ____ ____
D= ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
F=____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
________________________________Principal
A max. of two electrons can occupy each orbital and these electrons must have
opposite spin
________________________________ Principal
Electrons will occupy the lowest energy levels possible
________________________________Rule
Electrons enter orbital's of the same energy one at a time before pairing up
◦ It is more STABLE to have the max. number of unpaired electrons
Mole Conversions

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10 atoms
Avogadro’s number
1 mole of any substance is equal to its mass on the periodic table in grams.
Molar mass
How many atoms is 2.5 moles of Copper?
How many grams is 2.22 x 1025 atoms of Zinc?
Lewis Dot Structure
 Depending on what group they are in on the periodic table determines how many valence
electrons they have.
 You cannot double up valence electrons until each side of the element has an electron
