Yr 9
Atom
Everything is made of atoms
“Father of atomic theory”
John Dalton
all matter made up of
hard spheres cant be broken into smaller
cant created or destroyed
element has own atom all identical
Subatomic particles
relative mass relative charge
proton 1 1+
neutron 1 0
electron 1/1836 1-
isotopes
atoms of same element with different number of neutrons
e.g chlorine
Relative mass
RAF
(mass no. x %abundance)+(mass x % abundance) all divded by two
Who created first periodic table and how was it ordered
Dmitri Mendeleev
rows-order of relative atomic mass smallest to highest
columns-similar chemical + physical propetries
left gaps
swapped Te + Iodine properties fitted better
Modern Periodic table
arranged in Atomic numbers
rows=period(7)
columns=groups(8)
1-alkali metals
2-earth metals
2–3 transition metals
7-halogens
8-noble gases
Electron shells
1st shell-2 electrons
2nd-8
3rd-8
