ELEMENTS

Remember:

• Atoms of one type form an element– A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc.

• Elements are the simplest form of a substance

• Every element is unique and has its own chemical and physical properties

Compounds and Molecules

• A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically.

• A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements.

• All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

Page 5: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

Elements are arranged:

Vertically into Groups

Horizontally Into Periods

Page 6: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

Each atom has the same number of electrons in it’s outermost shell.

Page 7: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

Valence Electrons: Electrons in the outer shell

Page 8: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

• The number of outer or “valence” electrons in an atom effects the way an atom joins with other atoms.

• The way atoms join determine many properties of the element.

• This is why elements within a group usually have similar properties.

Page 9: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

Each atom has the same number of electron holding shells.

Page 10: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

The numbers represent the period as well as the amount of electron holding shells.

Page 11: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

Each group has distinct properties

• The periodic Table is divided into several groups based on the properties of different atoms.

Non-reactive

Gases at room temperature

Very Stable

Noble Gases

Page 14: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

WHY STABLE?

Noble gases have full valence levels!

Page 15: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

• Atoms whose shells are not full tend to interact with other atoms and gain, lose, or share electrons

HYDROGEN (H)Atomic number = 1

CARBON (C)Atomic number = 6

NITROGEN (N)Atomic number = 7

OXYGEN (O)Atomic number = 8

Electron

Outermost electron shell (can hold 8 electrons)

First electron shell (can hold 2 electrons)

Page 16: ELEMENTS Remember: Atoms of one type form an element –A bunch of gold atoms form gold…etc. Elements are the simplest form of a substance Every element.

• When atoms gain or lose electrons• Charged atoms called ions are created

– Lose electrons---positive charge– Gain electrons--- negative charge– Like charges repel and opposite charges attract

Ionic bonds

NaSodium atom

ClChlorine atom

Na+

Sodium ionCl–

Chloride ion

Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Na Cl Na Cl

+ –

Ionic Bonds• Electrons are transferred

• Forms between metals and nonmetals

• Dissolve easily in water, usually

Covalent Bonds

• Sharing of outer electrons

• Very strong bond

• If “pull” is unequal creates a polar covalent bond = a polar molecule (ex: water)
