The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 25 of 114)
Periods and Groups
On the periodic table
• elements are arranged according to similar
properties in vertical columns called groups
• periods are horizontal rows of elements
Period 1 contains two elements: H and He
Periods 2 and 3 each contain eight elements:
Period 2 – Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, He
Period 3 – Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 27 of 114)
Group Numbers, written at the top of each
vertical column, are written two ways:
• The letter A is used for the representative
elements 1A to 8A and the letter B for the
transition elements.
• The numbers 1–18 are used for the columns
from left to right.

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
The heavy zigzag line on the periodic table
separates the metals from nonmetals.
Metalloids border the zigzag line.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 31 of 114)
Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
Most metals are shiny solids, such as copper
(Cu), gold (Au), and silver (Ag).
Metals are
• ductile, can be shaped into wires
• malleable, can be hammered into a flat sheet
• good conductors of electricity
• melted at much higher temperatures than
nonmetals
• solids at room temperature, except for
mercury (Hg)
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 32 of 114)
Except for aluminum (Al), the elements along
the zigzag line are metalloids. Metalloids
• include B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, and At
• exhibit some properties typical of metals and
some typical of nonmetals
• are better conductors of heat and electricity
than nonmetals, but not as good as metals
• are semiconductors because they can be
modified to function as conductors or insulators
Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 33 of 114)
Nonmetals include elements such as hydrogen (H),
carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), chlorine
(Cl), and sulfur (S).
Nonmetals
• not especially shiny, malleable, or ductile, and
are often poor conductors
of heat and electricity
• typically have low melting
points and low densities

The Atom
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 45 of 114)
The idea of atoms did not become scientific theory until 1808.
John Dalton (1766–1844) developed an atomic theory proposing that atoms were responsible for the combinations of elements in compounds.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 46 of 114)
Dalton's Atomic Theory
1. All matter is made up of tiny particles
called atoms.
2. All atoms of a given element are identical to
one another and different from atoms of other
elements.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 47 of 114)
3. Atoms of two or more different elements
combine to form compounds. A particular
compound is always made up of the same
kinds of atoms and the same number of each
kind of atom.
4. A chemical reaction involves the
rearrangement, separation, or combination of
atoms. Atoms are never created or destroyed
in a chemical reaction.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 48 of 114)
Atoms are
• the building blocks of everything around us
• too small to see with the naked eye
A small sample of nickel contains many, many nickel atoms.
Atoms
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 49 of 114)
By the end of the 1880s,
• experiments with electricity showed that atoms
were composed of tiny particles, called
subatomic particles including protons,
neutrons, and electrons
• it was shown that some subatomic particles in
an atom have charge
Subatomic Particles in an Atom
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 50 of 114)
Electrical charges can be positive or negative.
• two positive charges repel each other
• two negative charges repel each other
• unlike charges attract each other
Electrical Charges in an Atom
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 51 of 114)
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford worked with
J. J. Thomson on experiments in which they
discovered that atoms contained
• a small region in the center with positive
charge called the nucleus
• a region of space around the center of the
atoms occupied by electrons
The Structure of an Atom
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 52 of 114)
The positively charged particles are called protons,
and the negatively charged particles are called
electrons.
If an atom were the size of a football stadium, the
size of the nucleus would be the size of a golf ball
in the center of the field.
The Structure of an Atom
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 53 of 114)
In 1932, James Chadwick discovered that the
nucleus of the atom also contained neutral particles
called neutrons.

remember information!
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 55 of 114)
The Structure of an Atom
In an atom, the protons
and neutrons that make
up almost all the mass of
the atom are packed into
the tiny volume of the
nucleus. The rapidly
moving electrons
(negative charge)
surround the nucleus and
account for the large
volume of the atom.

The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 57 of 114)
Mass of the Atom
• The mass of the atom is due to the protons and
neutrons in the nucleus. Electrons have a much
smaller mass.
• Chemists use a unit called atomic mass unit
(amu), defined as one-twelfth of the mass of
the carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
• The mass of all elements in the periodic table is
compared to the mass of this carbon atom.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 58 of 114)
On the amu scale, the mass of a proton and a
neutron have a mass of about 1 amu.
Mass of an Atom
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 59 of 114)
The atomic mass of an element is
• listed below the symbol of each element on
the periodic table
• calculated based on the weighted average
of all naturally occurring isotopes
• based on its comparison
to the mass of 12C
• not the same as
the mass number

The mass number
• represents the number of particles in the
nucleus
• is equal to the
number of protons + number of neutrons
• does not appear on the periodic table because it
applies to a single atom only
Mass Numbers
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 70 of 114)
We calculate the number of neutrons in an atom
from its mass number and atomic number:
mass – atomic = number number number neutrons
Potassium has a mass number of 39 and an
atomic number of 19. To find the number of
neutrons, subtract the atomic number from its
mass number. 39 (mass number) – 19( atomic number) = 20 neutrons

Compounds
Most elements except for noble gases are found in nature combined with other elements in compounds.
Compounds form when electrons are transferred or shared to give a stable electron configuration to both atoms.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 96 of 114)
Compounds
Atoms lose, gain, or share electrons in the form of an ionic bond or covalent bond to obtain an octet.
• Ionic bonds are formed when the valence electrons of a metal are transferred to atoms of nonmetals.
• Covalent bonds are formed when atoms of nonmetals share their valence electrons.

Positive Ions: Loss of Electrons
Ions, which have electrical charges, form when atoms lose or gain electrons to form a stable electron configuration.
• Because ionization energies of metals in Group 1A (1), 2A (2), and 3A (13) are low, metal atoms lose their valence electrons, forming ions with a positive charge.

Positive Ions: Loss of Electrons
A sodium atom (Na) will lose its valence electron to form a sodium ion (Na+).
Positively charged ions of metals are called cations.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 101 of 114)
Positive Ions: Loss of Electrons
Magnesium, a metal in Group 2A (2), obtains a stable electron configuration by losing two valence electrons, forming an ion with a 2+ charge.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 102 of 114)
Negative Ions: Gain of Electrons
The ionization energy of a nonmetal atom in Groups 5A (15), 6A (16), and 7A (17) is high. Rather than lose electrons to form ions, a nonmetal atom will gain one or more electrons to obtain a stable electron configuration.
The Academic Support Center @ Daytona State College (Chem-Up 2, Page 103 of 114)
Negative Ions: Gain of Electrons
An atom of chlorine with seven valence electrons gains one electron to form an octet. Because it now has 18 electrons and not 17 electrons, it becomes a chloride ion (Cl−) with a charge of 1−.
Negatively charged ions of nonmetals are called anions.
