    This document discusses the structure of atoms and subatomic particles. It contains three main sections: 1. A diagram of an atom with 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons is shown and labeled. This atom is neutral because it has an equal number of protons and electrons. Dalton's model differed in that it depicted atoms as solid spheres. 2. An experiment is described where beams of protons, neutrons and electrons are passed through an electric field. The protons are deflected downward due to their positive charge, while the other beams are identified based on their relative mass and charge. 3. Atoms A, B and C contain different numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. Atoms A and

    Structure of an atom

    SC3a.4 Extend
    1 a Draw a diagram of the structure of an atom with 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons.
    Clearly label the nucleus and the electrons on your diagram.
    b Why is this atom neutral?
    c How was Dalton’s atomic model different from this model of an atom?

    E1 Name each particle (a, b and c) on the diagram below. Explain your answer.

    2 An experiment was carried out to investigate the properties of the three main subatomic particles –
    protons, neutrons and electrons.
    A beam of all three of these particles, all with the same energy (or speed), was passed through an electric
    field produced by a pair of parallel steel plates – one positively charged and one negatively charged.

    What happens to the beams as they pass through the electric field depends on their relative masses and
    relative charges.
    a Beam (c) is a beam of protons. Why is it deflected downwards when it passes through this electric
    field?
    b Identify the other two beams of particles and explain your choice in each case.
    c Explain why the deflection of beam (a) in the electric field is much bigger than the deflection of
    beam (c).
    d Suppose that a beam of nuclei, each containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons, was passed through the
    same electric field. In which direction would the beam be deflected?
    e How would the deflection compare with that for the other particles?
    3 Three atoms, A, B and C, contain the following subatomic particles.

    Atom Neutrons Protons Electrons


    A 18 17 17
    B 18 16 16
    C 16 17 17

    Which two atoms are atoms of the same element? Explain your choice.
