Structure of the Atom Structure of the Atom
An atom consists of a nucleus, located in the center of the atom, that contains protons and neutrons and represents most of the mass of an atom. electrons that occupy a large, empty space around the nucleus.
In an atom, the protons and neutrons that make up almost all the mass are Protons – positive charge packed into the tiny volume of the nucleus. The rapidly moving electrons Neutrons – neutral (negative charge) surround the nucleus and account for the large volume Electrons – negative charge of the atom.

Writing Configurations Using Sublevel Blocks Electron Configurations: d and f block
STEP 1 Locate the element on the periodic table. Beginning in Period 4, STEP 2 Write the filled sublevels in order, going across the 4s sublevel fills before the 3d sublevel, because the 3d each period. sublevel is slightly lower in energy than the 4s sublevel. the 5s sublevel fills before the 4d sublevel. Example: Chlorine the 6s sublevel fills before the 5d sublevel.

Valence Electrons
• Most properties of elements are due to the behavior of the electrons in the element’s outermost orbitals. • Valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost energy level.
Goal: Use the electron configurations of elements to explain the trends in periodic properties.

Atomic size The atomic size increases going down a group and right to left across a period. • is determined by the atom’s atomic radius, the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electrons.

Given the elements C, N, and Cl,
Atomic size increases top to bottom down a group Because each period adds more orbitals which are increasingly A. which is the largest atom? farther from the nucleus. Atomic size increases from left to right Because as you right along a period, you are adding more protons and electrons (but have the same orbitals.) This creates a stronger attraction between the nucleus (protons) and the electrons and it sucks the electrons in tighter. Making the atom smaller.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove one of Ionization energy increases up the outermost (valence) electrons. a group and increases going across a period from left to right.
• As the distance from the nucleus to the valence electrons increases, the ionization energy decreases. • The ionization energy is low for metals and high for the nonmetals.

Metallic character • is more prevalent in metals on the left side of the periodic table. • is less for nonmetals on the right side of the periodic table that do not lose electrons easily. • decreases going down a group, as electrons are farther away from the nucleus.
