Introduction to

Atomic Modeling
Atomic modeling is a fundamental concept in chemistry,
helping us understand the building blocks of matter and their
interactions.

The Atomic Structure
At the heart of an atom lies the nucleus, which contains
protons and neutrons, giving it a positive charge. Electrons
orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels, creating a
negatively charged cloud.

3 Energy Levels
Distinct regions around the nucleus where electrons
reside, with varying energy levels.
Periodic Table and Periodic Trends
The periodic table arranges elements based on their atomic number, revealing recurring patterns in their
properties. Trends like electronegativity and atomic radius emerge as we move across and down the table.

Atomic Number
The atomic number is a unique identifier for an element. It
represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Mass Number
The mass number is a measure of an atom's total mass, accounting for
both protons and neutrons. It is represented by the sum of the number of
protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Protons
Positively charged particles in the nucleus.

Neutrons
Neutral particles in the nucleus.

Mass Number
The sum of protons and neutrons.
Isotopes
Isotopes are variations of the same element, containing the
same number of protons but differing in the number of
neutrons. This variation leads to different atomic masses for
the isotopes.

Atomic Mass
Atomic mass refers to the average mass of an atom of an
element, taking into account the abundance of its isotopes. It
is typically measured in atomic mass units (amu).

Atomic Mass Estimation
Atomic mass can be estimated using the mass number of an atom, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons. The mass
number provides a rough estimate of atomic mass.
