Odd man out

Which one of these is the odd one out? Why?

Deciphering the Periodic Table

An Atom
An atom is made of 3 different particles. A proton, a neutron and an electron Protons are positively charged and are found in the nucleus

Electrons are negatively charged and are found whizzing around the nucleus

Neutrons have no charged and are found in the nucleus

What do all the numbers mean?

Atomic Number Mass Number Round this number to the nearest whole number and subtract the atomic number to find the number of neutrons This is how many protons are in the nucleus

The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons!

Lets try a Few!

Number of Protons =

2
2 2

Number of Electrons =
Number of Neutrons =

Lets try a Few!

Number of Protons =

9
9 10

Number of Electrons =
Number of Neutrons =

Common Mistake! - The number of neutrons is not always the same as the number of protons

Lets try a Few!

Number of Protons =

24
24 28

Number of Electrons =
Number of Neutrons =
