Chapter 5 Objectives

  • to summarize Dalton's atomic theory
  • to describe the size of an atom
  • to distinguish among protons, electrons, and nuetrons in terms of relative mas and charge
  • to describe the structure of an atom, including the location of the protons, electrons, and neutrons with respect to the nucleus
  • to explain how the atomic number identifies an element
  • to use the atomic number and mass number of an element to find the numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons
  • to explain how isotopes differ and why the atomic masses of elements are not whole numbers
  • to calculate the average atomic mass of an element from isotope data
  • to describe the origin of the periodic table
  • to identify the position of groups, periods, and the transition metals in the periodic table
