Imagine you have a piece of aluminum foil, and you cut it in half. If each of these pieces is cut in half a second, third, and fourth time, the pieces become smaller but are still aluminum. How small must a piece be so that at the next cut it will no longer be aluminum? Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Greek Word Origins Greek Origin alpha Meaning Key Words First letter of the Greek alphabet Alpha particle Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Greek Word Origins Greek Origin atomos Meaning Key Words Cannot be cut; indivisible Atom, atomic number, atomic mass Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Greek Word Origins Greek Origin beta Meaning Key Words Second letter of the Greek alphabet Beta particle Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Greek Word Origins Greek Origin di Meaning Key Words Two, double Diatomic molecule Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Greek Word Origins Greek Origin gamma Meaning Key Words Third letter of the Greek alphabet Gamma radiation Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Greek Word Origins Greek Origin hals Meaning Key Words Salt, relating to salt Halogen Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Apply It!

Sample: Since diatomos means “two atoms,” di- probably means “two.” Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table End of Chapter Preview Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Section 1: Introduction to Atoms How did atomic theory develop and change? What is the modern model of the atom? Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Atomic Theory and Models Dalton thought that atoms were like smooth, hard balls that could not be broken into smaller pieces. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Atomic Theory and Models Thomson suggested that atoms had negatively charged electrons embedded in a positive sphere. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment Rutherford was surprised that a few particles were deflected strongly. This led him to propose an atomic model with a positively charged nucleus. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Later Atomic Models Through the first part of the twentieth century, atomic models continued to change. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Modern Model of an Atom This model of a carbon atom consists of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons in a nucleus that is surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Particles in an Atom An atom is composed of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Protons and neutrons are about equal in mass. An electron has about 1/2,000 the mass of a proton or neutron. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Isotopes Atoms of all isotopes of carbon contain six protons and six electrons, but they differ in their number of neutrons. Carbon12 is the most common isotope. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table More on Atomic Structure Click the PHSchool.com button for an activity about atomic structure.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Finding Data on Elements Each square in the periodic table lists four pieces of information: an element’s atomic number, chemical symbol, name, and atomic mass. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table End of Section: Organizing the Elements Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Section 3: Metals What are the physical properties of metals? How does the reactivity of metals change across the periodic table? How are synthetic elements produced? Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table 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. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table 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. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table 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. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Melting Points in a Group of Elements Reading Graphs: As you look at Group 1 from lithium to francium, describe how the melting points of the alkali metals change. Melting points decrease from lithium to francium. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Melting Points in a Group of Elements 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. New element 119 should have a melting point of approximately 25ºC or lower. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Melting Points in a Group of Elements Interpreting Data: Which of the alkali metals are liquids at 35ºC? Cesium, francium Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Metals in the Periodic Table The transition metals are less reactive than the metals in Groups 1 and 2. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Metals in the Periodic Table Only some of the elements in Groups 13 through 15 of the periodic table are metals. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Metals in the Periodic Table Lanthanides are usually found together in nature, always combined with other elements. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table 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.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table End of Section: Metals Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Section 4: Nonmetals, Inert Gases, and Semimetals What are the properties of nonmetals and inert gases? How are semimetals useful? Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Properties of Nonmetals When nonmetals and metals react, electrons move from the metal atoms to the nonmetal atoms. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Families of Nonmetals Each element in the carbon family has atoms that can gain, lose, or share four electrons when reacting with other elements. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Families of Nonmetals Group 15, the nitrogen family, contains two nonmetals: nitrogen and phosphorus. These nonmetals usually gain or share three electrons when reacting with other elements. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table 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 other elements. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Families of Nonmetals The Group 17 elements, the halogens, are very reactive. Atoms of these elements easily form compounds by sharing or gaining one electron when reacting with atoms of other elements. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Families of Nonmetals The elements in Group 18 are the inert gases. They do not ordinarily form compounds because atoms of inert gases do not usually gain, lose, or share electrons. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table 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. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Semimetals The most useful property of the semimetals is their varying ability to conduct electric current.

Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table End of Section: Nonmetals, Inert Gases, and Semimetals Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Section 5: Radioactive Elements How was radioactivity discovered? What types of particles and energy can radioactive decay produce? In what ways are radioactive isotopes useful? Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Types of Radioactive Decay During alpha decay, a nucleus loses an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Types of Radioactive Decay During beta decay, a neutron inside an unstable nucleus changes into a negatively charged beta particle and a proton. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Types of Radioactive Decay Gamma radiation has no charge and does not cause a change in either the atomic mass or the atomic number. Chapter 4 Elements and the Periodic Table Types of Radioactive Decay The three types of nuclear radiation were named based on how easily each one could be blocked. Alpha, beta, and gamma are the first three letters of the Greek alphabet.
