 Atoms, Atoms Everywhere!
What are Atoms?
Atoms are everywhere. They are the basic building blocks for all matter in the
universe. Every animal, person, plant, and object is made up of atoms. The
word ‘atom’ stems from the Greek word atomos, meaning indivisible.

Atoms are small. They are so small we cannot see them with the
naked eye. Scientists have to use a special kind of microscope called a
transmission electron microscope to see atoms.

Atoms are plentiful. There are around seven billion

billion billion atoms in the human body.

If you were to write that as a number, it would be a seven with 27 zeroes after
it! Some people believe there are more atoms in the human body than stars in
the observable universe.

What does an Atom Look Like?

Atoms are made up of a nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons. These are also known
as subatomic particles. The nucleus is the centre of the atom. Neutrons and protons can
be found within the nucleus. Protons are positively charged particles, and neutrons are
not charged at all. Spinning around the outside of the nucleus are electrons. Electrons are
negatively charged particles that are attracted to the nucleus and the positively charged
protons.

Every element on the periodic table has its unique structure determined by the
number of protons within the atom, also known as its atomic number. Along
with this, the atom’s mass and radioactivity depend on how many protons and
neutrons are in the atom. For example, the hydrogen atom has only one proton
and one electron but no neutrons in its nucleus. In contrast, radium atoms
have 88 protons, 138 neutrons and 88 electrons.

Most atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons, which means that
the negative and positive charges are balanced.
Atoms, Atoms Everywhere!

Once you have finished this table, answer the following questions:

• Which atom has the heaviest mass?

• Which atom has the most protons? How do you know?

4. Research Activity

• Is there anything smaller than protons, neutrons and electrons? Do some research
and write down what you discover.
 Parts of an Atom
Remember PEN!

Proton
A tiny particle that exists in the nucleus of every atom and has a positive
electrical charge.

Electron
A tiny particle that has a negative electrical charge and travels around
the nucleus of an atom.

Neutron
A tiny particle of matter that has no electrical charge and is part of the
nucleus of all atoms except hydrogen atoms.

Mixtures (Pure and Impure Substances)

1. Match the keyword with the correct definition. [3]

pure substance use two or more different elements not joined

mixture only one type of element or compound

compound made up of only one type of atom

element two or more different atoms chemically joined

2. Complete the paragraph by writing the words from the box into the correct spaces. [6]

solute soluble solution saturated solvent insoluble

When salt is stirred into water, it dissolves. The salt is a which mixes with

the water, a , and forms a new . The salt can dissolve so

we say it is . Pepper would not dissolve so it is . When a

solution cannot dissolve any more solute we say it is .

3. Susan added an unknown amount of sugar to 100g of water. Describe a method to explain how she
could find the mass of the sugar she added. [4]

4. Tick the correct definition of diffusion. [1]

movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high

concentration, until equilibrium.

movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low

concentration, until equilibrium.

movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high

concentration, until disappeared.

5. Label each of the separation techniques pictured below. [4]

6. What characteristic of a substance can be used to help check its purity? [1]

Learning Outcomes (tick if achieved)

Q1 I know what mixtures are

Q2 I can describe dissolving
Q3 I can apply knowledge of conservation of mass and separation methods
Q4 I can define diffusion

Solute, Solvent and Solution Match and Draw
Draw one line from each key word to its definition.

A substance that does not dissolve in

a given solvent.

dissolve
When a solute is mixed with a
solvent to form a solution.

insoluble

A homogenous mixture of two or

more substances, formed when a
solute dissolves in a solvent. Salt
soluble
water is an example.

solute A substance that will dissolve in a

given solvent.

solution
The substance in which a solute
dissolves. In salt water, this
substance is the water.

solvent

The substance that dissolves in a

solvent to make a solution. In salt
water, this substance is
the salt.

 Dissolving True or False
In the table below write down whether you think each statement is true or false.

True/False

Dissolved substances cannot be seen because

they become part of the water
Substances which do not dissolve are called
soluble

Only white powder dissolves

Some solids dissolve

All materials dissolve

Dissolved substances are called soluble

Only powders dissolve

Dissolved substances disappear

We can get dissolved substances back

Substances which do not dissolve are called

insoluble

The hotter the water, the quicker solids dissolve

The bigger the soluble particle, the faster it

dissolves
