    Atoms are the smallest particles of matter that cannot be divided further. The periodic table organizes all known elements into rows and columns, with the rows called periods and the columns called groups. Metals are elements whose atoms gain a positive charge, making metals good conductors of heat and electricity that are typically solid, while non-metals are elements whose atoms lose a positive charge, making non-metals poor conductors that have a brittle structure.

    5 Atoms,
    elements and the
    Periodic Table
    What are atoms?
    Atom: is the smallest piece of matter.

    Atoms cannot be divided.

    The picture is an oxygen atom.


    Periodic table
    Periodic table
    The periodic table is organized into rows and
    columns

    The rows are called periods.


    The columns are called groups.
    Metals and non-metals
    A metal atom means when an atom gains a
    positive charge

    Metal elements are good conductors of heat and


    electricity and they are solid in room temperature.
    Metals and non-metals
    A non-metal means when an atom loses a positive
    charge.

    Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and


    electricity and they have a brittle structure.
