Atomic Structure And The Periodic Table Flashcards
Group 1
Alkali metals
Group 2
Alkaline earth metals
Group 7
Halogens
Group 0
Noble gasses
Metal properties
High melting and boiling points
Mainly all solid at room temp
Good conductors of electricity and heat
Malleable
Shiny when polished
Dense
Three metals are magnetic
Non - metal properties
Low melting and boiling points
Many gasses at room temp
Poor conductors of electricity (excep graphite - a form of carbon)
Brittle (break when hit)
Dull
Less dense
None are magnetic
Protons
Found : nucleus
Charge : +1
Mass : 1
Neutrons
Found : nucleus
Charge : 0
Mass : 1
Electrons
Found : shells
Charge : -1
Mass : 1/2000
Number of protons
Equals the number of electrons because all atoms are neutral
Atomic number
Number of protons
Atomic mass
Protons + neutrons
Atomic mass - atomic number
Neutrons
Isotope
Atoms of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
Calculation for relative atomic mass
(Mass of isotope x % of isotope) + (mass of isotope x % of isotope) / 100
