Lesson Title: Structure of the Atom and its subatomic particles
Learning Competency: Point out the main ideas in the discovery of the structure
of the atom and its subatomic particles
References: Physical Science for SHS by Bayo-ang, et.al LAS No.: 8
CONCEPT NOTES
Atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that retains the
chemical properties of the element. It is made up of two regions: the nucleus and
the electron cloud. The nucleus is located near the center of an atom. The
subatomic particles are: (1) proton – positively charged particles (2) electron –
negatively charged particle (3) neutron – neutral particle.
The first subatomic particle was discovered by
Joseph John Thomson in his cathode ray tube
experiments. He was able to measure the ration of the
charge of the cathode ray particles to their mass.

Exercises: Encircle the letter of your answer.

A. electrode B. electron C. neutron D. proton
2. He discovered the electron through a cathode ray tube to study the nature
of the electric discharges.
A. James Chadwick C. J.J. Thompson
B. John Dalton D. Neils Bohr
3. All of the following are the subatomic particles except
A. electrode B. electron C. neutron D. proton
4. Which subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of a carbon atom?

B. protons and neutrons D. neutrons only
5. Which subatomic particle has no charge?
A. Alpha particle C. electron
B. Beta particle D. neutron
