Elements & Atoms

An atom refresher
• Matter is anything that takes up space and has
mass.
• All matter is made of atoms
• Atoms are the building blocks of matter, sort of
how bricks are the building blocks of houses.

An atom refresher
• An atom has three parts:
• Proton = positive
• Neutron = no charge
• Electron = negative
• The proton & neutron are
found in the center of the
atom, a place called the
nucleus.
• The electrons orbit the
nucleus.

What are elements?
• Elements are the
alphabet to the language
of molecules.
• To make molecules, you
must have elements.
• Elements are made of
atoms. While the atoms
may have different
weights and organization,
they are all built in the
same way.

More about Elements..
• Elements are the building
blocks of all matter.
• The periodic table is a list of
all of the elements that can
build matter. It’s a little like
the alphabet of chemistry.
• The periodic table tells us
several things…

Periodic Table

O
Oxygen
16
Atomic Number:
Number of protons
and it is also the
number of electrons
in an atom of an
element.Element’s Symbol:
An abbreviation for
the element.
Elements Name
Atomic Mass/Weight:
Number of protons +
neutrons.

Atom Models
• There are two models of the atoms we will be
using in class.
• Bohr Model
• Lewis Dot Structure
Created by G.Baker
www.thesciencequeen.net
Bohr Model
• The Bohr Model shows
all of the particles in the
atom.
• In the center is circles.
Each circle represents a
single neutron or proton.
Protons should have a
plus or P written on
them. Neutrons should
be blank or have an N.
• In a circle around the
nucleus are the
electrons. Electrons
should have a minus
sign or an e.

Electrons have special rules….
• You can’t just shove all of the electrons into the
first orbit of an electron.
• Electrons live in something called shells or
energy levels.
• Only so many can be in any certain shell.

• You can’t just shove all of the electrons into the

• Electrons live in something called shells or
energy levels.
• Only so many can be in any certain shell.
• The electrons in the outer most shell of any
element are called valance electrons.

So let’s try it….
• How to draw a Lithium atom
• First, look at the Periodic Table
• Second, determine the number of
protons (Look @ the atomic number)
• Then determine the number of
neutrons (Atomic mass – atomic
number)
• Then determine the number of
electrons (Look @ the atomic number)

Lewis Dot Structure
• The Lewis Dot
Structure is a bit
different from the
Bohr model.
• It only shows the
element symbol
and it’s outer most
electron shell.

How to…
1. Write the
symbol.
2. Start on the
right hand side,
working your
way clockwise
around the
symbol.
3. Try Lithium

Your activity…
• Using the beans (Lentils are electrons, Lima
Beans are protons, and kidney beans are
neutrons), create a Bohr model , and then a
Lewis dot structure model of each of the first 20
elements. After you have created each model,
draw each model on your chart.
• Hint to make a chart, use a burrito fold, then
fold the top down by 1 ½ inches. Unfold, you
now have 3 columns. Label the columns:
element, Bohr model, Lewis Dot.
