    An element is a pure substance made up of atoms with the same type. An atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons that orbit in shells. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, called nucleons. Period 1 elements like hydrogen and helium have one electron shell. Group 18 elements are noble gases with low reactivity. The M shell can hold up to 18 electrons according to the formula 2n^2. The distribution of electrons in shells is the electronic configuration.

    STRUCTURE OF AN ATOM

    Additional Q/A
    Define an element.
    An Element is a pure matter which has the same type of atoms and retains all of the chemical
    properties of that element. For example, a gold coin is made up of gold atoms put together in
    a shape of a coin.
    What is nucleons?
    Both protons and neutrons are called nucleons.
    What is mean by period -1?
    Elements like Hydrogen and Helium are in period I means they have one orbit of electron.
    What do you know about group 18?
    Group 18 has the noble gases Helium, neon, argon, radon, krypton and xenon which have low
    melting and boiling points and they each are colorless, odourless, tasteless and non-flammable.
    This group is called as low chemical reactive group.
    How many electrons do you think the M shell can hold?
    M shell can hold up to following electrons.
    2n2 = 2(3)2 = 18 electrons
    Define electronic configuration?
    The distribution of electrons in different shell is called electronic configuration.
    How can we find the number of neutrons?
    The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from
    the atomic mass. Number of neutrons =A-Z
    Which makers an atom a neutral entity?
    The number of protons and electrons of an atom as always the same which makes an atom a
    neutral entity.
    What are Shells?
    Electrons also revolve in fixed circular paths around the nucleus in an atom. These fixed
    circular paths are called shells.
    How can we calculate distribution of electrons?
    The distribution of electrons is calculated by a formula 2n2. n is the number of the shells.The
    first three shells are K, L, M and they are in order of increasing energy. For example, the K is
    the first shell and it can hold upto 2 (1)2 = 2 Electrons. L shell is the second shell and it can
    hold up to 2(2)2 = 8 Electrons.
    Draw the atomic structure of first 20 Elements. Assignment work
