Ghi chú bài học

Big idea: periodic patterns and electron arrangements

  • Key concept: Relationships. The proton number identifies the element. Electron arrangements explain periodic patterns; atoms in the same main group have similar outer-shell arrangements.
  • Related concepts: Models and evidence. Use a scientific explanation to make predictions, then test it against observations.
  • Global context: Scientific and technical innovation. Predicting chemical properties helps scientists choose materials.

Elements, Compounds & Mixtures

  • Element: substance made of atoms with the same number of protons; cannot be split chemically.
  • Compound: pure substance of two or more elements chemically combined; cannot be separated by physical means.
  • Mixture: combination of substances not chemically combined; separable by physical methods (e.g., filtration).
  • Examples: element = copper; compound = CO₂; mixture = sand and water.

Atomic Structure

  • Atoms consist of protons, neutrons (in nucleus) and electrons (in shells).
  • Proton: relative mass 1, charge +1; Neutron: relative mass 1, charge 0; Electron: relative mass 1/1840, charge -1.
  • Atomic number (Z) = number of protons; determines element and equals electrons in neutral atom.
  • Mass number (A) = total protons + neutrons; also called nucleon number.
  • Number of neutrons = mass number – atomic number.

Electronic Configuration

  • Electrons occupy shells (energy levels); first shell holds 2, second 8, third 8 (simplified).
  • Electronic configuration lists electrons per shell, e.g., carbon = 2,4.
  • Outermost shell (valence shell) determines chemical properties; full outer shell = stable (noble gas).
  • Number of occupied shells = Period number; number of outer electrons = Group number (for Groups I–VII).
  • Ions: e.g., Na⁺ has configuration 2,8 (lost one electron).

Sodium atom: electron configuration 2,8,1

Sodium atom: electron configuration 2,8,1

Isotopes

  • Isotopes: same element, same number of protons, different number of neutrons.
  • Isotopes have identical chemical properties (same outer electrons) but different physical properties (mass).
  • Notation: e.g., carbon-14 or ¹⁴C.

Relative Atomic Mass

  • Relative atomic mass (Aᵣ) = weighted average mass of all isotopes compared to 1/12 mass of carbon-12.
  • Formula: Aᵣ = (Σ(% abundance × mass)) / 100.
  • Example: rubidium: (72×85 + 28×87)/100 = 85.6.

Periodic Table & Groups

  • Elements in same Group have same number of outer electrons and similar chemical properties.
  • Noble gases (Group 0/VIII) have full outer shells and are unreactive.
  • Group number for Groups I–VII equals number of outer electrons.
  • Period number equals number of occupied electron shells.

Think like a scientist

  • Use a teacher-provided dataset to compare the electron arrangements and properties of elements in a period.
  • Comparison: the element being compared. Outcome: the electron arrangement and chemical properties.
  • Control: compare atoms in their neutral state. Explain why this makes the comparison fairer.
  • Evidence: Use a consistent method, repeated observations where appropriate and a table with labelled quantities and units. Keep unexpected results and investigate their cause.
  • Safety: Practical activities need teacher supervision and an appropriate risk assessment. Use the provided data or simulation where the investigation specifies it.
  • Inquiry task: State a testable question, predict the outcome using the science, then explain how your observations would support or challenge the prediction.

Evaluate the science

  • Predicting chemical properties helps scientists choose materials.
  • A simple shell model predicts many trends but does not describe the full behaviour of electrons.
  • Evaluation task: Link your conclusion to evidence, identify a limitation and suggest a specific improvement. Distinguish a measured result from an explanation of its cause.
