CHAPTER 3:

ATOMIC STRUCTURE &


PERIODIC TABLE
Learning targets:
• Describe the atomic structure (neutron,
proton, electron and electron shell)
• Describe properties of metal and non-
metal
Atom
Positive charge
- No of proton = no
of electron
- No of proton +
No of neutron =
mass of the atom
(nucleon
Zero charge
number)
Negative charge
How does the atom looks like then for
Lithium?

2.8.8
Hence, for Lithium

• Which one conducts electricity better?
• Which one conducts heat better?
• How the surface looks like? (shiny/dull)
• Ductile or not? (Ductile – drawn out to make wires)
• Malleable or not? (Malleable – can be hammered into different shape)
• Sonorous or not? (Sonorous – make ringing noise when struck)
• Low or high melting/boiling point?

and electron shells
• Able to determine electron configuration
based on the proton number
• Able to determine metal and non-metal
elements based on the valency
• Compare general properties of metal and
non-metal
