Atomic Structure N5 U1 P2 Flashcards
Periodic table arrangement
Order of increasing atomic number
Determines metal and non-metal
Groups
Columns
Same number of outer electrons
Same valency
Similar chemical properties
Atomic structure
Nucleus- protons, neutrons
Energy levels- electrons
Subatomic particles
Neutrons- nucleus, neutral charge, 1 amu
Protons- nucleus, positive charge, 1amu
Electrons- energy levels, negative charge, almost 0 amu
Atomic number
=Proton number
Neutral atom
Number of protons= number of electrons
Nuclide notation
Mass number
Symbol
Atomic number
Mass number= proton no.+electron no.
Atomic no.=proton no.
Isotopes
Atoms with same atomic number, different mass numbers
Atoms with same number of protons, different number of neutrons
Most elements have two or more isotopes
Relative atomic mass
=average mass of isotopes
Main groups- periodic table
Group -Alkali metals
Group 2-Alkali earth metals
Group 7- Halogens
Group 0/8- Noble gases
