The Periodic Table
This Section will focus on Scientists
who have had an impact on the
study of the Periodic Table.
Ready To Meet Them?
Demitri Mendeleev
Demitri Mendeleev was a
Russian scientist. He was
the first person to make
the periodic table. He also
wrote a chemistry
book.The periodic table is
a tool to help read
elements.

Atomic Mass
Calculating Atomic Mass
To find the Atomic
Mass, you look at the
bottom number in the
Atom tile and round it
to the nearest whole
number.

How to find number of protons
Atomic Number/
number of Protons
The number of Protons in
atom is also the Atomic
number, so therefore the
Atomic number also
represents the amount of
Protons in the nucleus of
that Atom.

How to Find the Amount of
Neutrons in an Atom
To find the amount
of neutrons in an
atom you have to
subtract the atomic
mass from the
atomic number .

To find the
number of
electrons in an
atom, look at the
numbers in the
right side. To
determine the
number of energy
levels count the
number of side
numbers and
there you go!!!

What's the BIG difference
The big difference between an element,
compound, and a molecule is……
Element: a substance made up of only 1 kind of
atom
Compound: a substance made up of 2 or more
DIFFERENT elements
Molecule: a grouping of 2 or more atoms joined
together
For instance . . .
This is an atom of an
element. As you can
see, it is made up of
only one kind of atom
H
. . In this case
Hydrogen
Now, with a compound
O
H
O
When two or more
atoms are put
together it makes a
compound.
How elements are formed
Elements are formed with a nucleus, and
inside the nucleus is protons and neutrons.
Around the nucleus are energy fields, and
inside the energy fields are are electrons.
