Describe how these three particles are arranged in an atom.
the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons are orbiting the shell
Explain why an atom has no overall charge use the relative electrical charges of sub atomic particles in your explanation
Protons have a+1 charge and electrons have a -1 charge the number of protons and electrons is equal
the mass number
This is how many protons and neutrons that atom has
What is the symbol used for?
This can be used to the atom
What is the atomic number?
This is how many protons that atom has
The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons
The mass number of an atom is the number of protons and neutrons the atom has
Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells the shells are different energy levels. The closer the shell is to the nucleus the lower the energy level the first show has the lowest energy level.
The lowest energy level is always filled first and it is only when this is for that electrons can be placed into the next energy level
What are the rules for the shells?
Shall one can contain a maximum of two electrons. shell 2 can contain a maximum of eight electrons.shell three can contain a maximum of eight electrons.
Elements within the same group all have the same amount of electrons in the out shell.
Elements within the same period it all have the same amount of number of shells.
The modern periodic table is arranged by increasingatomic number
The periodic table is called this because the properties of elements at regular intervals they reoccur periodically
What do groups tell you?
Tell you the number of electrons in the outer shell
What are the similarities between Newland and Mendeleev?
Both table organised by increasing atomic weight
Both have one element in each box
both have similar elements in the same column
both are missing the noble gases
The noble gases are said to be in note this means that they don’t easily react
The reason the noble gases don’t react is because they’re out shelves already contain the maximum number of electrons
