Term 2 Flashcards
proton
subatomic particle with positive charge mass: 1 found inside nucleus
neutron
subatomic particle with neutral charge mass: 1 found inside nucleus
electron
subatomic particle with negative charge. mass: 1/1835 (negligible) found in shells orbiting nucleus
Atomic number
the number in the bottom left of the element and is the amount of protons.
atomic mass
the protons + neutrons making the total mass found in top right of element
Isotope
isotopes are atoms of t he same element with the same atomic number but a different mass number
what were mendeleaves 3 key features of the periodic table
he predicted future elements
he ordered them in atomic mass (now it is ordered in atomic number)
he switched the order of a few elements to keep groups consistent
1st electron shell
can only hold 2 electron
all electron shells other than 1st
can hold maximum of eight electrons
group number is
the amount of electrons on last shell
period number is
the amount of shells
