Elements, Atoms, and The Atomic Theory: Type of Atom

This document discusses the atomic theory and the periodic table. It explains that all matter is made up of atoms, which have a structure of subatomic particles including protons, neutrons, and electrons. The periodic table organizes elements based on their properties, with metals on the left, non-metals on the right, and metalloids in between. It also arranges elements into chemical families and provides information about each element.

CHAPTER

6 Elements, Atoms, and the Atomic Theory

• Matter is made of atoms and every element has its own unique
type of atom.
• Elements are identified by names and chemical symbols.
• Atoms have a structure that determines their properties.
• Every atom is composed of three types of subatomic particles:
protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• The number of electrons in the outer shell of an element’s atoms
determines the properties of the element.
CHAPTER

6 Elements, Atoms, and the Atomic Theory

• The Periodic Table organizes elements in different ways.


• Metals are found on the left,
non-metals on the right,
and metalloids in between.
• Chemical families are arranged
in vertical groups.

• Periodic Tables can indicate the chemical symbol, atomic number, atomic
mass, ion charge, density, and other information about each element.

Activity
Draw your own Classification of Matter chart in your notebook. Use the
example below as a guide. Under each heading, write at least three
common examples of each form of matter.

See pages 149–150 in the textbook for clarification and a description of


each heading if needed.
CHAPTER

6 Elements, Atoms, and the Atomic Theory

Key Ideas
• Matter is made of atoms.

• Atoms have a structure that determines their properties.

• The Periodic Table organizes elements in different ways.


6.1 Properties Are Used to Identify Matter
VOCABULARY
• Physical properties can be observed without changing physical properties
the chemical structure of a substance. chemical properties
• Chemical properties describe a possible chemical mixtures
change. pure substances

• Matter is made of atoms. elements


atoms
• Atoms are the smallest particles of each element.
compounds
• Elements, compounds, and mixtures together
constitute all matter.
• Mixtures are made from two or more substances
that are not chemically combined.
• Elements combine to form compounds.
• Elements are identified by names and chemical symbols.
• Some elements are found as paired atoms.
6.2 Atomic Theory
VOCABULARY
• Atoms are made of component particles
subatomic particles
called subatomic particles: protons,
nucleus
neutrons, and electrons.
protons
• Every atom of any one element will
neutrons
have the same number of protons.
atomic number
• Positive protons and neutral neutrons mass number
are found in the nucleus, and negative atomic mass
electrons are arranged in shells or electrons
orbits around the nucleus.
electron shells
• There are an equal number of protons unpaired electrons
and electrons in an atom. Ions form paired electrons
when the number of electrons changes.

• The number of electrons in the outer


shell determines the properties of the
element.
Classifying Elements with the
6.3
Periodic Table
VOCABULARY
• Elements can be classified or grouped in many
chemical families
different ways using physical and chemical properties.
• The groups include metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
• Some groups of elements have characteristic sets of common
physical and chemical properties, and are called chemical families.
• The Periodic Table organizes elements in the following way:
• Metals are found on the left side,
non-metals on the right, and metalloids
in between.
• Chemical families are arranged in
vertical groups.
• The table can also display the chemical
symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, ion
charge, density, and other information
about each element.
