*Here’s how to predict the structure of any element on the periodic table. For example, look at carbon:

6 ßflatomic number: This is the number of protons (also the number of electrons)
C ßflchemical symbol: This is an abbreviation for the element.
carbon ßflelement name: This is the name of the element.
12.011 ßflatomic mass (in AMU): This number (rounded off) tells you the number
of protons plus the number of neutrons. (Electrons are too small to be included.)

To find the number of protons, look at the atomic number:


Example for carbon: Atomic number: 6 Number of protons: 6
To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass:
Example for carbon: Atomic mass: 12 (rounded) Number of neutrons: 12 – 6 = 6
To find the number of electrons, look at the atomic number:
Example for carbon: Atomic number: 6 Number of electrons: 6

2.Complete the table for the elements with atomic numbers 1-10.

*Here’s how to draw an atom of any element:

Protons and neutrons go in the nucleus (center).


Electrons go in energy levels of the electron cloud.
The first energy level only holds up to 2 electrons.
The second energy level holds up to 8 electrons.
The third energy level holds up to 18 electrons. P=
N=
Example for carbon: 6 electrons total
First 2 electrons in the 1st energy level
Next 4 electrons in the 2nd energy level

The electrons in the outermost energy level are called valence electrons (V.E.)
Example for carbon: 2nd energy level is the outermost energy level used by carbon
Carbon has 4 valence electrons

3.Draw a picture of an atom for first four elements and write the number of valence electrons.

1. Hydrogen V.E._____ 2. Helium V.E._____

3. Lithium V.E._____ 4. Beryllium V.E._____
