The modern version of atomic theory was laid by John Dalton in the nineteenth century, who
postulated that elements are composed of extremely small particles, called atoms.
SAMPLE EXERCISE 1: Determining the Number SAMPLE EXERCISE 2: Writing Symbols for
of Subatomic Particles in Atoms Atoms
How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in an Magnesium has three isotopes with mass numbers 24,
atom of 197 Au? 25, and 26. Write the complete chemical symbol
(superscript and subscript) for each.
• The superscript 197 is the mass number (protons +
• Magnesium has atomic number 12, so all atoms of
neutrons).
magnesium contain 12 protons and 12 electrons.
• Gold has atomic number 79.
ANSWER: An atom of 197 Au has 79 protons, 79 ANSWER: The three isotopes are therefore represented
electrons, and 197 – 79 = 118 neutrons. by

Most elements have two or more isotopes, atoms that have the same atomic
number but different mass numbers.
Which two of these elements would you Elements in the same group of the periodic table are
expect to show the greatest similarity in most likely to exhibit similar properties. We therefore
chemical and physical properties: B, Ca, F, expect Ca and Mg to be most alike because they are
He, Mg, P? in the same group (2A, the alkaline earth metals).

The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that, in an atom or molecule, no two
electrons can have the same four electronic quantum numbers.

Atomic radii - (a) decrease across a period from left to right in the
periodic table; (b) increase down a group in the periodic table.

table; (b) decreases moving down the periodic table.
