Matter is made of atoms (cannot be further divided), the word atom 
comes from the Greek word “atomos” which means indivisible.
• Atoms were tiny particles that could not be divided 
• John Dalton proposed that an atom is a sphere of 
matter that is the same throughout and can’t be seen 
by human eyes 
• Marble Model
• Came up with the idea of the electron negatively charged particle 
• Thomson discovered that all atoms contain electrons, which are tiny, 
negatively charged particles. Thomson proposed that an atom is a 
sphere of positive charge. The electrons are mixed uniformly in the 
sphere. 
• Cookie Model
Ernest Rutherford 
• He hypothesized that almost all the mass and all the 
positive charge of an atom is concentrated in an extremely 
tiny nucleus at the center of the atom.
• Thought electrons traveled in fixed paths around the 
nucleus called energy levels.
Atomic Structure 
• Arrangement and number of sub-atomic particles 
•Protons 
•Neutrons 
• Electrons
• Center or core of an atom 
• Contains 99.9% of the weight of an atom 
• Contains protons and neutrons
• Positively Charged Sub-atomic particles 
• Found in the nucleus 
• All protons are a like
• Neutrally charged (no charge) sub-atomic particle 
• Found in nucleus
• They are the negatively charged particles orbiting the 
nucleus. 
• It is much smaller than the protons and the neutrons .
What is the net charge of 
the atom ? 
• The atom is formed of positively charged proton in the 
nucleus and negatively charged electrons in the energy 
level ,but they are equal to each other in number ,making 
the net charge of the atom “neutral”. 
No of positive protons = No of negative electrons
• They are charged atoms 
• Number of positive protons = Number of negative electrons. 
Positive 
ion 
Negative 
ion
If the atom lost an electron ,therefore the number of positive protons 
are more than the negative electrons making the atom positively 
charged 
Positive Ion
If the atom gained an electron ,therefore the number of negative 
electrons 
are more than the positive protons making the atom negatively 
charged 
Negative Ion
• Atomic number is the number of Protons in an atom 
• All atoms of a particular element have the SAME number of protons (All 
Carbon atoms have 6 protons) 
• In a neutral atom, 
The atomic number =The number of electrons
• Also called atomic weight or Mass Number 
• Sum weight of protons and neutrons in an atom
Calculate the mass number of each of 
the following atoms

Atomic number= Number of protons= Number of electrons 
Mass number= Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Calculating Neutrons: 
• Mass number = protons + neutrons 
so….. 
• Neutrons = mass number – protons

Developing a Periodic Table 
• In 1869 Dimitri Mendeleev was working on a way to 
classify elements. 
•At the time, more than 60 elements had been 
discovered. 
• And he arranged the elements according to their 
atomic mass
100 table The periodic table is 
a chart of the 
elements arranged 
according to their 
atomic number in 
rows and columns 
according to their 
physical and chemical 
properties.

What is the periodic table? 
•The periodic table is a chart of the elements 
arranged into rows and columns according to 
their physical and chemical properties. 
• It can be used to determine the relationships 
among the elements.
Groups and Periods 
- Columns in the periodic table represents “groups” 
- There are 18 groups in the periodic table. 
- Elements of the same the same group have the same 
chemical properties as the all have the same number of 
electron/s in the outer most energy levels.
- Rows in the periodic table represent “periods”. 
- There are 7 periods in the periodic table . 
- Elements of the same period have the same number 
of energy levels

Periodic Table 
A great deal of information about an element can be gathered from 
its position on the period table. 
Understanding the organization and plan of the periodic table will 
help you obtain basic information about each of the 118 known 
elements.

Periodic Table
Metals
Properties of Metals 
Metals appear to the left of the dark ziz-zag line on 
the periodic table. Most metals are solid at room 
temperature.
Properties of Metals 
Metals have luster. 
This means they are 
shiny
Properties of Metals 
Ductile 
metals can be drawn 
into wire.
Properties of Metals 
Malleable 
metals can be 
hammered 
into sheets
Properties of Metals 
Metals have a high melting point. They are 
also very dense.
Properties of Metals 
Conductors 
Metals are 
good 
conductors of 
electricity and 
heat
Nonmetals
Elements 
Substance that contains only one kind of atom
Compounds 
-Are substances made of atoms of two or more elements 
that are chemically combined. 
-The chemical formula of a compound shows the elements 
that are in it 
-Example: 
SiO₂ (sand): It is formed of 1 Silicon atom 
2 oxygen atoms
-Compounds don’t have the same properties of the 
elements forming them 
Example: 
The ordinary table salt is a compound called NaCl 
It is formed of : 
1 atom of Sodium and 1 atom of chlorine 
Where “Sodium” is a metal
• And “Chlorine” is a gas 
But when they combine together they give a product of 
different properties which is the table salt
How compounds are formed ? 
-Compounds hold together because atoms bond or 
attach to one another
How atoms can attach or bond with 
each other? 
They either 
Share 
electrons 
Gain 
Or 
lose 
electrons
