Atomic number & Mass Number
• Explain : The number of protons is like your ID number or
your fingerprint.
• The number of protons is called the atomic number.
• In a neutral atom; the number of protons = number of
electrons. (P+ = e -)
Atomic number = P = e
• Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and
neutrons.
Mass number = P + N

 Electron Configuration
• A way to present how electrons are arranged around the
nucleus.
• In a nucleus, protons and neutrons are located inside the
nucleus, while electrons are arranged around the nucleus
in what is known as energy levels.
Octet and Duet Rule:
• Orbits (energy shells) take a max number of
electrons following the rule: 2n2
• Octet Rule: An atom tends to be stable if it has 8
electrons in its outer orbit, except for the
hydrogen and helium , (which only needs two
electrons).
• Duet Rule: Hydrogen and Helium strive to have
only 2 electrons in their outer shell to achieve
stability. (Unlike other atoms that aim for eight electrons
in their outer shell, hydrogen and helium are exceptions.
They are more stable when they have only two electrons in
their outermost energy level, following the duet rule)

How to Draw the electron
configuration of an atom?

• Draw a nucleus in the center.

• Add the number of protons and
neutrons with a charge for each.
Example: Sodium has 11 protons and 12
neutrons.
• Add the first orbit and fill it with 2
electrons
• Add the second orbit and fill it with 8 as
explained
• Add the third orbit and fill it with the
remaining one electron
How to write the electron configuration?

• Write the symbol of the element and the atomic number as a

subscript.
• Write the number of electrons in each orbit separated by a
coma.
• Example: Na 11: 2, 8, 1
Use slides 26-27 to complete the below task

 Valence Electrons and atom’s behavior

• An atom tends to be stable, following the Octet rule, by

having its last outer orbit full of 8 electrons (or 2 if it is the
first orbit)
• An atom can either lose, gain or share electrons to become
stable.
1. Atoms with 1-3 valence electrons tend to lose them.
2. Atoms with 5 to 7 valence electrons tend to gain/ share
more to become 8
3. Atoms with 4 electrons tend to share 4 more
