revision Flashcards
Isotope
have different number of neutrons but it is the same element
Subatomic particles
protons, neutrons electrons
charges of the subatomic particles
and its position in the atom
protons=positive-nucleus
neutrons=neutral-nucleus
electrons=negative-shells
calcium and potassium
fill the third shell with 8 and begins filling the fourth shell
groups
number of valence electrons
periods
number of electron shells
how many electrons do each shell hold?
shell 1-holds 2
shells 2-holds 8
shell 3-holds 18
what do metals do in order to have a full outer shell?
they lose their valence electron to form a positively charged cation
what do non-metals do in order to have a full outer shell?
gain electrons to form negatively charged anions
what is the overall charge of an atom?
neutral
what is the mass of an atom
protons + neutrons
how to find the number of electrons in an atom
electrons=protons
how to find the number of neutrons in an atom
mass number-protons
for elements with 1-2 valence electrons group =
for elements with 3-8 valence elctrons group=
number of valence electrons
number of valence + 10
what is true for all group 18 elements?
theyre outer shell is full hence why helium is found there
