Introduction to Chemistry
What’s the MATTER?
• Matter is anything that has mass and
occupies space.
• Matter is made up of tiny particles
Atoms
• Atoms are the ‘building blocks’ of all
elements.
• They are about one billionth of a meter
(very small)
Proton
• Protons are positively
charged and are
represented by the
symbol p+
• Protons are located in
the nucleus
Neutron
• Neutrons have no
charge and are
represented by the
symbol n0
• Neutrons are also
located in the
nucleus.
Electron
• Electrons are located
outside of the nucleus
and are represented
by the symbol e• Electrons are located
in shells
• In an atom, there are the same number of
electrons as there are protons so there is
no charge.
The Periodic Table and Atoms
Using the Periodic Table….
• The Number of
protons is the ‘atomic
number’
• The atomic weight is
a measure of the total
number of particles in
an atom’s nucleus.
Atomic Weight will always be larger
then Atomic Number!
Atomic Weight
• Atomic Weight = (Number of Protons) +
(Number of Neutrons)
* Atomic Weight is Atomic Mass
To determine the number of neutrons you
round mass to the nearest whole number.
For any element:
• Number of Protons = Atomic Number
• Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic
Number
• Number of Neutrons = Atomic Weight – Atomic Number
How many valence electrons?
Valence ElectronsWhere all the ACTION is!
• Valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost shell
of an element.
• The number of valence electrons is the same for elements in the same
group
• REMEMBER: Groups are the Columns (Down)
Periods are the Rows (Across)
G
R
O
Example: Calcium (Ca) is in Group 2 and so is Radium (Ra).
U
Ca and Ra both have TWO valence electrons.
