Topic: Periodic Table
Objectives:

Describe that as you move from left to right in a period (row) on the Periodic Table, the number of protons increases by one.
Describe that elements found in the same group/family (column) have the same properties.
Recognize that elements are grouped in the Period Table of Elements according to their properties.

Periodic Table Notes

Students will copy Periodic Table reference notes in their Interactive Journal.

Atomic Number is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.Every atom of the same element has the same number of protons.
The number of protons determines the identity of the element.
Typically atoms have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
The periodic table is arranged in horizontal rows of increasing atomic number from left to right. It is also organized into vertical columns with similar characteristics.
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. These particles can be distinguished based on mass, location and charge.
Protons: 1 amu (atomic mass unit), in nucleus, positively charged
Neutrons: approximately 1 amu, in nucleus, neutral charge
Electrons: negligible mass, outside nucleus, negatively charged.
Period Number = Number of Energy Levels
Valence electrons increase moving left to right across the period.
Groups = Families. Groups have similar properties!
Acidity increases from Group 1 to Group 18
Solubility of Metal salts decreases from Group 1 to Group 16
Metal Salts in water conduct electricity
Non-metal molecules do not conduct electricity in water
Solubility is unrelated to element type

Group 1 elements react explosively with water

Topic: Atoms
Objectives:

Identify that atoms are the smallest unit of all matter and each atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Identify the location of the nucleus and electrons and determine which subatomic particles belong in each location.
Create models of atoms in order to identify the number and location of their protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Vocabulary (Students will create a Foldable for each term).
