Question
topics covered:
atomic history: atomic models
atomic structure: protons, neutrons, electrons
periodic trends: atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization, etc.
isotopes: isotope notation, definitions, finding particles
ions: gaining/losing electrons, cations, anions, finding electrons from the symbol
average atomic mass: calculating mass using percent abundance
configurations: orbitals, electron configuration, noble gas configurations
sketch the periodic table in the space below and then draw arrows to show the periodic trends.
Step1: Recall atomic structure facts
Protons have a mass of 1 amu, a charge of + 1, and are in the nucleus. Neutrons have a mass of 1 amu, no charge, and are in the nucleus. Electrons have a negligible mass (almost 0 amu), a charge of - 1, and are in the electron - cloud outside the nucleus.
Step2: Use atomic number and mass number relationships
For an atom, the atomic number = number of protons. The mass number = number of protons+number of neutrons. In a neutral atom, number of protons = number of electrons.
For Boron:
- Protons = Atomic number = 5
- Neutrons = Mass number - Protons=11 - 5 = 6
- Electrons = Protons = 5
For Sodium - 26:
- Atomic number of Sodium (Na) is 11. So Protons = 11
- Neutrons = Mass number - Protons = 26-11 = 15
- Electrons = Protons = 11
For Y (Yttrium):
- Protons = Atomic number. Given Mass number = 89. If we assume it is a neutral atom, we need to look up the atomic number of Yttrium which is 39.
- Neutrons = Mass number - Protons=89 - 39 = 50
- Electrons = Protons = 39
For Copper:
- Protons = Atomic number = 29
- Neutrons = 58 - 29 = 29
- Electrons = Protons = 29
For Tc (Technetium):
- We need to look up the atomic number of Technetium which is 43. So Protons = 43
- Neutrons = Mass number - Protons=98 - 43 = 55
- Electrons = Protons = 43
For Pb (Lead):
- The atomic number of Lead is 82. So Protons = 82
- Neutrons = Mass number - Protons=207 - 82 = 125
- Electrons = Protons = 82
For Thallium:
- Given Atomic number = 81, so Protons = 81
- If the charge is 0 (neutral atom), Electrons = Protons = 81
- Let's assume the mass number is not given. If we assume a common isotope, we need more information. But if we go by the atomic number - proton relationship, Protons = 81, Electrons = 81
For Hydrogen (H):
- The most common isotope of Hydrogen has a mass number of 1 and an atomic number of 1. So Protons = 1, Neutrons = 1 - 1=0, Electrons = 1
