Science:  Today in class we went over how to find out the number of protons neutrons and electrons.  Homework for Friday is to figure out the number of protons neutrons and electrons for elements 1-20.  Don’t forget the test is Monday October 5th and the 1st quarter exam is October 7th.

Physical Science:  Today in class we discussed suborbitals as well as some other topics.  The homework for Friday is chapter 17 section 1, 2, & 3 section reviews.   Don’t forget the test is Monday October 5th and the 1st quarter exam is October 7th.

Science:  Today in class we went to the lab and completed a lab over the modern atomic model.  Lab sheets are due tomorrow.

Physical Science:  Today in class we went over section 1 & 2 again of chapter 17.  We also went over the first 10 elements and found out their numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons.  Homework is to find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons for elements 11-20

Science:  Today in class we took a test over chapter 9.  Homework was to finish the chapter 10 vocabulary in the composition book.

Physical Science:  Today in class we began our discussion of chapter 17 section 1 & 2.  Homework was to find out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons for elements 1-10.

ex.  Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12 and an atomic mass of 24.3.  To find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons do the following:

Atomic Number = # of protons

Atomic Mass = # of protons and neutrons

The atom is electrically neutral so it must have the same number of positive charges and negative charges.  So the # of electrons are the same as the protons.  To find the number of neutrons take the atomic mass and round to the nearest whole number and then subtract the atomic number from it.

Atomic Mass = 24.3 (round to 24)

subtract 12 from 24 and your # of neutrons is 12.

Magnesium (Mg)

P=12    N=12   E=12
