   Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table |

  | 3 | 
  
   	The protons and neutrons of an atom are found in the central nuclear
       region, or nucleus, and the electrons are found in an electron cloud
       outside the nucleus. |

   	Mendeleev constructed a periodic table as part of his effort to
       systemize chemistry. | 
 
  | 7 | 
  
   	The periodic table of the elements is a graphical way    to show relationships among the
       elements. | 
 
  | 8 | 
  
   	In this periodic table, elements 58 through 71 and 90 through 103 are
       shown in their proper positions. | 
 
  | 9 | 
  
   Some familiar metals are aluminum, lead, tin, and zinc. | 
 
  | 10 |  | 
 
  | 11 | 
  
   	This portion of the periodic table shows the dividing line between
       metals and nonmetals. | 
 
  | 12 | 
  
   
   	The number of subshells within a shell is equal to the shell number. | 
 
  | 13 |  | 
 
  | 14 |  | 
 
  | 15 |  | 
 
  | 16 | 
  
   	The order of filling various electron subshells. Subshells of different
       shells “overlap.” | 
 
  | 17 | 
  
   	The order of filling various electron subshells with electrons follows
       the same order given by the arrows in this diagram. | 
 
  | 18 | 
  
   	The different colors of fireworks result when heat excites the
       electrons of different kinds of metal atoms. | 
 
  | 19 | 
  
   	Electron configuration   and the
       positions of the elements in the periodic table. | 
 
  | 20 | 
  
   	A classification scheme for the elements based on their electron
       configurations. |
