  1. Table of Contents • Introduction to Atoms • Organizing the Elements • Metals • Nonmetals and Metalloids • Elements From Stardust

  2. - Introduction to Atoms Structure of an Atom • A carbon atom consists of protons and neutrons in a nucleus that is surrounded by electrons.

  3. - Introduction to Atoms Models of Atoms • For over two centuries, scientists have created models of atoms in an effort to understand why matter behaves as it does. As scientists have learned more, the model of the atom has changed.

  4. - Introduction to Atoms Isotopes • Atoms of all isotopes of carbon contain six protons, but they differ in the number of neutrons. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope.

  5. - Introduction to Atoms Previewing Visuals • Before you read, preview Figure 2. Then write two questions that you have about the diagram in a graphic organizer like the one below. As you read, answer your questions. Structure of an Atom Q. What particles are in the center of the atom? A. Protons and neutrons Q. What particles move around the outside of the nucleus? A. Electrons

  8. - Organizing the Elements Finding Data on Elements • Each square of the periodic table includes an element’s atomic number, chemical symbol, name, and atomic mass.

  9. - Organizing the Elements Periodic Table Activity • Click the Active Art button to open a browser window and access Active Art about the periodic table.

  10. - Organizing the Elements Organization of the Periodic Table • The 18 columns of the periodic table reflect a repeating pattern of properties that generally occur across a period.

  11. - Organizing the Elements Asking Questions • Before you read, preview the red headings. In a graphic organizer like the one below, ask a what or how question for each heading. As you read, write answers to your questions. Question Answers What pattern of elements did Mendeleev discover? Patterns appeared when the elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic mass. Atomic number, chemical symbols and names, and average atomic mass What data about elements is found in the periodic table? How are elements organized in the periodic table? Elements are organized in periods and groups based on their properties.

  13. - Metals Metals in the Periodic Table • The metals in Group 1, from lithium to francium, are called the alkali metals. Alkali metals react with atoms of other elements by losing one electron.

  14. - Metals Metals in the Periodic Table • Group 2 of the periodic table contains the alkaline earth metals. These elements are not as reactive as the metals in Group 1, but they are more reactive than most other metals.

  15. - Metals Melting Points in a Group of Elements • The properties of elements within a single group in the periodic table often vary in a certain pattern. The following graph shows the melting points of Group 1 elements (alkali metals) from lithium to francium.

  16. Melting points decrease from lithium to francium. Reading Graphs: As you look at Group 1 from lithium to francium, describe how the melting points of the alkali metals change. - Metals Melting Points in a Group of Elements

  17. New element 119 should have a melting point of approximately 25ºC. Predicting: If element number 119 were synthesized, it would fall below francium in Group 1 of the periodic table. Predict the approximate melting point of new element 119. - Metals Melting Points in a Group of Elements

  18. None of the alkali metals are liquids at room temperature. Cesium and francium might melt if you could hold them in your hand. Interpreting Data: Room temperature is usually about 22ºC. Human body temperature is 27ºC. Which of the alkali metals are liquids at room temperature? Which might melt if you could hold them in your hand? - Metals Melting Points in a Group of Elements

  19. - Metals Metals in the Periodic Table • The transition metals are less reactive than the metals in Groups 1 and 2.

  20. - Metals Metals in the Periodic Table • Only some of the elements in Groups 13 through 15 of the periodic table are metals. These metals are not nearly as reactive as those on the left side of the table.

  21. - Metals Metals in the Periodic Table • Lanthanides are soft, malleable, shiny metals with high conductivity.

  22. - Metals Metals in the Periodic Table • The elements below the lanthanides are called actinides. Many of these elements are so unstable that they last for only a fraction of a second after they are made.

  23. - Metals Using Prior Knowledge • Before you read, write what you know about metals in a graphic organizer like the one below. As you read, write what you learn. What You Know Metals are shiny. Some metals are magnetic. What You Learned Ductile metals can be pulled into a wire. Alkali metals react by losing one electron.

  26. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Properties of Nonmetals • When nonmetals react with metals, one or more electrons move from the metal atoms to the nonmetal atoms.

  27. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Families of Nonmetals • Each element in the carbon family has atoms that can gain, lose, or share four electrons when reacting with atoms of other elements.

  28. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Families of Nonmetals • Group 15, the nitrogen family, contains two nonmetals: nitrogen and phosphorus. These non-metals usually gain or share three electrons when reacting with atoms of other elements.

  29. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Families of Nonmetals • Group 16, the oxygen family, contains three nonmetals: oxygen, sulfur, and selenium. These elements usually gain or share two electrons when reacting with atoms of other elements.

  30. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Families of Nonmetals • The Group 17 elements are the most reactive nonmetals. Atoms of these elements easily form compounds by sharing or gaining one electron when reacting with atoms of other elements.

  31. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Families of Nonmetals • The elements in Group 18 are known as the noble gases. They do not ordinarily form compounds because atoms of noble gases do not usually gain, lose, or share electrons.

  32. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Families of Nonmetals • Because the chemical properties of hydrogen differ very much from those of the other elements, it really cannot be grouped into a family.

  33. - Nonmetals and Metalloids The Metalloids • The metalloids have some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. The most useful property of the metalloids is their varying ability to conduct electricity.

  34. - Nonmetals and Metalloids Using Prior Knowledge • Before you read, write what you know about nonmetals in a graphic organizer like the one below. As you read, write what you learn. What You Know Nonmetals are not shiny. Nonmetals are not magnetic. What You Learned Nonmetals are dull and brittle. Metalloids have characteristics of metals and nonmetals.

  37. - Elements From Stardust How Elements Form in Stars • Nuclear fusion, which occurs in stars on a huge scale, combines smaller nuclei into larger nuclei, creating heavier elements.

  38. - Elements From Stardust Sequencing • As you read, make a flowchart like the one below that shows how elements are formed in stars. Write the steps in separate boxes in the flowchart in the order in which they occur. Hydrogen nuclei fuse, forming helium. Helium nuclei fuse, forming beryllium. Fusion continues in smaller stars, forming elements up to oxygen. Fusion in larger stars produces heavier elements up to iron. The heaviest elements form during supernova explosions of the most massive stars.
