 Neutral Atoms
A single atom is said to be electrically neutral if its number of
electrons is equal to the number of protons.

Atomic number (Z)

Electrons (e-)
Protons (p+)

Mathematically, Z= p+= e-
Atomic Number

Atomic Number
=
number of protons
 Mass Number
Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons

Mass Number=?
3 protons
+
4 neutrons
=7
Mass Number
Getting the Neutrons

Neutrons = Mass number - protons

Mass Number 12.01 - 6 protons

=6.01
Neutrons
Getting the Electrons

Atomic number = protons = electrons

Z= p+= e-

Atomic Number = 2
Protons = 2
Electrons=?
Getting the Electrons

Atomic number = protons = electrons

Z= p+= e-

Atomic Number = 2
Protons = 2
Electrons=2
 Example

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are present

in Boron?
P+ =

 Example

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are present

in Boron?
P+ = 5
e-= 5
n= 6

Answer Key
 Ions
When an atom gains, or loses electrons,
they develop a charge.

Charge particles are called Ions.

When atom loses electrons, they become

positive charged or CATIONS

When atoms gain electrons, they become

negatively charge or ANIONS
 Ions

Net Charge of ion = p+ - e-

 Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms having the same atomic number but
with different mass number.

Are they
Isotopes?
 Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms having the same atomic number but
with different mass number.

NO!!

 Isotopes

ISOTOPES OF HYDROGEN
 Reminders:

Different number of Protons = different elements

Different number of electrons = different ions

Different number of mass neutrons = different isotopes
