1. Atomic structure

- There are protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons move around electron shells

Atom - the smallest indivisible part of an element which keeps every feature of it; consists of a nucleus and electron shells
Proton - the elementary particle with a positive charge
Neutron - the elementary particle without charge

- A number of protons and a number of electrons is equal in a particular elements; and that's why atom is electrically neutral

Electron configuration - arrangement of electrons on shells

2. Isotopes



Z (atomic number) - number of protons inside a nucleus a particular atom. Number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
A (mass number) - sum of numbers of protons and neutrons in nucleus

A - Z = number of neutrons

Isotopes - atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number. It means they have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.

. Particules/Isotope Number of protons Number of electrons Number of neutrons
Protium
1 1 0
Deuterium
1 1 1
Tritium
1 1 2


Radioactivity - an ability of some nuclei to emit radiation

Natural radioactivity - an ability to radiate itself (no human action)
Artifical radioactivity - if a nucleus is incapable to radiate; a human action can induce it by some reactions

3. The periodic table of elements

- The periodic table is built of 18 groups (vertical rows) and 7 periods (horizontal rows).
- Groups 1, 2, 13-18 are main groups
- Groups 3-12 are additional groups

Information we can get from a number of group:

- A number of valence:
- for groups 1 and 2 it's equal to number of group
- for groups 13-18 it's equal to number of group -10

- Valency: - for groups 1, 2 it's equal to number of group
- for groups 13-18 is equal to number of group -10

Information we can get from a number of period:

- Number of electron shells

- Every group's name comes from the name of the first element
- Exception is the first group, which name is lithium family
- 17th group can be called: fluorine family, chlorine family, halogens
- 18th group can be called: noble gases, helium family

lantanowce - lanthanides
aktynowce - actanides

4. Types of bondings



- A bonding is a pair of electrons; every electron comes from a different atom. Only valence electrons are able to form bondings
- As a result of bonding formation molecules are obtained
- Atomic bonding is always formed only between 2 non-metal atoms
- The most often bonding are formed are called homoatomic molecules; the exception is C-H bonding

- Homoatomic molecule consists of atoms of the same element.

- An electron pair is used equally by both atoms
