    1. The Atoms Family Album

    2. Directions As we read the story as a class, fill-in the following for each character: Name Description Favorite Activity Facial Picture (draw a face based on the description using the circle)

    3. The Story. In the center of Matterville, there is a place called the Nucleus Arcade, where two members of the Atoms Family like to hang out. Perky Patty Proton, like her sisters, is quite large with a huge smile and eyes that sparkle (+). Patty is always happy and has a very positive personality.

    5. The Story. Nerdy Nelda Neutron is large like Patty, but she has a boring, flat mouth and eyes with zero expression (o). Her family is very apathetic and neutral about everything. Patty, Nelda, and their sisters spend all their time at the arcade.

    7. The Story. Around the Nucleus Arcade, you will find a series of roadways that are used by another member of the Atoms Family, Enraged Elliott Electron. Elliott races madly around the arcade on his bright red chrome-plated Harley Davidson. He rides so fast that no one can be sure where he is at any time.

    8. The Story. Elliott is much smaller than Patty and Nelda and he is always angry because these bigger relatives will not let him in the Arcade. He has a frown on his face, eyes that are squinted with anger, and a very negative attitude (-).

    10. Atomic Size Atoms are the smallest units of matter which still display the characteristic properties of that element. Keep in mind that atoms are extremely small. One hydrogen atom, for example, is approximately 5 x 10-8 mm in diameter. Thats 0.00000005mm! In other words, if the proton was the size depicted above, the whole atom would be about the size of Giants Stadium.In other words, if the proton was the size depicted above, the whole atom would be about the size of Giants Stadium.

    11. Building an Atom Electrons by themselves would be poor building blocks because like charges repel, and they would just repel each other.

    12. Building an Atom The electrons don't fall completely into the proton. Instead, it takes up an orbit around the electron. The movement of the electron creates a spherical electron "cloud." Here, one electron and one proton make up the element, "hydrogen."

    13. Building an Atom Let's say one electron is in orbit around a proton. What would a second electron do?

    14. The Story. The first energy street can only hold two Electron brothers. The second energy street, called Energy Freeway, can only hold 8 brothers. The third energy street, called the Energy Superhighway, can hold 18 of the brothers.

    15. Matterville

    16. The arrangement of the electrons Each energy level can only hold a certain number of electrons. These levels can be thought of as getting progressively further from the nucleus. Electrons will always go into the lowest possible energy level (nearest the nucleus) - provided there is space. The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level can be found using the following formula: Electron Capacity = 2n2 (n is the number of the energy level question.)

    17. The arrangement of the electrons Each atomic orbital and the electrons in it are associated with a specific amount of energy.

    18. Matterville

    19. Atomic Cloud Model

    20. Morale of Matterville The morale of Matterville is stable as long as it has the same number of protons (+) and electrons (-). If someone kidnaps one Elliott Electron, the morale of Matterville would become positive (more protons). If one Elliott Electron were to move to Matterville, the morale would be negative (more electrons).

    21. Periodic Table & Atom Basics Element squares Atomic number Atomic symbol Element Name Atomic Mass 5 B Boron 10.81

    22. Periodic Table & Atom Basics Determining the number of Protons, neutrons and electrons # of Protons = atomic # Protons must equal the number of electrons to be stable # of Neutrons= Atomic mass - atomic # Round atomic mass to the nearest whole number. # of Electrons = # of protons =atomic # Atoms can gain or lose electrons Math Game 5 B Boron 10.81

    23. Periodic Table & Atom Basics Bohr Diagram Shows the number of electrons and in which energy levels they are in for the atom Example for Boron

    24. Periodic Table & Atom Basics Lewis Structure A Lewis Structure consists of the atomic symbol surrounded by dots to represent the number of electrons in the outer energy level as represented by a Bohr Diagram. These electrons in the outer energy level are called valence electrons.
