Objectives:

 Point out the atomic number in the periodic table.

 Identify the subatomic particles related with mass number.
 Determine the number of proton, electron and neutron given the atomic
mass.
Materials:
Periodic Table of Elements
Procedure:
1. Refer to the periodic table. Locate the atomic number.
2. Complete the table below
Element Symbol Atomic Mass Number Number Number
Number Number of of of
Protons Electrons Neutron
Chlorine Cl 17 35 17 17 18
Aluminium Al 13 27 13 13 14
Magnesium Mg 12 24 12 12 12
Gold Au 79 197 79 79 118

Guide Questions:
1. What is atomic number?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which is characteristic of a
chemical element and determines its place in the periodic table.
2. What subatomic particles are found inside the nucleus that is added together
to give the mass number?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. They make up a
majority of the mass of an atom. In fact, the mass number of an element is the
sum of its protons and neutrons. Since protons have a positive charge and
neutrons are neutral, the nucleus of an atom is electrically positive.
