What are all substances made of?
…to gold, an unreactive metal.
From chlorine, a poisonous gas…
From sodium, a reactive metal…
There are millions of different substances in the world, but what are they all made of?
Elements – the building blocks of all substances.
There are about 100 different elements in a variety of forms.
…to oxygen, a life-giving gas.

Properties of elements
What is a property of an element?
A property is any characteristic of an element.
For example, here are some properties of sodium:
It would be really useful to be able to predict properties of elements instead of having to remember them!
Are there any patterns in the properties of elements?
metallic;
highly reactive;
solid but melts easily;
feels light (low density).

Properties and atomic number
The properties of an element depend on its atomic number.
What is the atomic number of an element?
Atoms contain three types of particles:
Where are these particles found in an atom?
Particle Mass Charge
proton 1 +1
neutron 1 0
electron almost 0 -1
atomic number = the number of protons in an atom

Atomic number, charge and electrons
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons.This means that atoms are neutral.
What links atomic number and the number of electrons?
9 protons = +99 electrons = -9
Total charge = 0
10 neutrons = 0
What is the charge of a fluorine atom?
atomic number = the number of electrons in an atom

Mendeleev and the periodic table
Mendeleev created the first modern periodic table by grouping together elements with similar properties.

Arranging elements
Arrange these rows so elements with matching properties are together:
Divide the elements at set intervals into separate rows:
H He Li Be B C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K

Arranging elements into columns
When elements are arranged according to their properties what patterns do you see?
Similar elements go into the same columns.
Hydrogen is an exception – it is best positioned above the reactive metals.

Atomic number and electrons
atomic number = number of protons
atomic number = number of electrons
The properties of elements are hugely influenced by the number and arrangement of electrons in the atom.
What links atomic number and the number of electrons in an atom?
As atomic number increases by one, the number of electrons also increases by one.
This means that the elements in the periodic table are also arranged in order of the number of electrons.
number of protons = number of electrons

Electron shells
Electrons are arranged in shells around an atom’s nucleus.
This electron arrangement is written as 2,8,8.
1st shell holdsa maximum of
2 electrons
2nd shell holdsa maximum of
8 electrons
3rd shell holdsa maximum of
8 electrons
Each shell has a maximum number of electrons that it can hold. Electrons will fill the shells nearest the nucleus first.

Electrons in period 1
Elements in period 1 only have electrons in the first shell.
Why are there only two elements in period 1?
The first shell can only hold a maximum of two electrons,so period 1 only includes the elements hydrogen and helium.
What is special about the outer shell of helium?

The second shell is completed one electron at a time going across the period from left to right.

Electron trends in the periodic table
Trends down a group:
The point at which a new period starts is the point at which electrons begin to fill a new shell.
The number of a group is the same as the number of electrons in the outer shell of elements in that group,except for group 0.
the number of outer shell electrons is the same;
the number of complete electron shells increases by one.
the number of outer shell electrons increases by one;
Trends across a period:
the number of complete electron shells stays the same.
