An Introduction to Chemical Elements By: Natasha Brackett
Elements Pure substance Only ONE type of atom Add together to make compounds Make up all chemical matter All known elements are in periodic table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element
Flickr.comwww.destinysagent.com
Protons + 1 Positive Charge Found in Nucleus Atomic Number Defines Elements by Atomic Number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protons
Electrons - 1 Negative Charge Cancels out Proton Smallest particle in an atom Found in Cloud around Nucleus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron http://chemistry.about.com/od/atomicmolecularstructure/a/aa062804a.htm
Electron Shells Only fixed number of electrons per Shell Shells fill from inside out 2 8 8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell
Nobel Gases Last electron shell is full Not very reactive Flickr.comwww.destinysagent.com
Neutrons No Charge Balance atoms Found in Nucleus Cause Isotopes Svdmolen/Jeanot, Public Domain
Individual Elements http://education.jlab.org/qa/pen_number.html
Atomic Weight Measured in Atomic Mass Units (AMU) Protons and Neutrons Electrons are too small Weighted Average of All Isotopes http://education.jlab.org/qa/pen_number.html
Example A) What Atom and Atomic Symbol? B) How many protons? C) How many electrons in a neutral atom? D) How many Neutrons? Flickr.comwww.destinysagent.com
A) What atom/ atomic symbol?                                  Titanium/ Ti B) How many Protons?                                        22 C) How many Electrons?                                        22
D) How many Neutrons? Atomic Weight ≈ 48 Amu   Take Atomic Weight  and subtract atomic number/ amount of protons The electrons are too small  Number of Neutrons is 26
