Which atomic particle determines the identity of the atom?Atomic Structure
(Use your notes to answer the following)
are the building block of all matter! Matter is anything that has
a and takes up
All atoms are made up of smaller subatomic particles ‘called 1
2 3 Even though these particles are so small
that we can’t see them with our eyes, they still have masses called
units, Each particle has it own mass. For example protons and neutrons
have an AMU of . but electrons are 2000 x's smaller so their AMU is
Every atom has an atomic number, which tells you the number
of or . Atoms also have
an which tells you the number of neutrons and protons. The
cool thing about these subatomic particles is that they all have their own charge!
Protons have a charge, Electrons have a
charge and since Neutrons are neutral, so they have charge. Because of their
charges, these subatomic particles are only found in one of two areas in the atom.
and are found in the nucleus while electrons are
found in the
Since all of the electrons are found in the electron cloud, it has a
overall charge. While all the protons and neutrons in the give ita
positive overall charge.
In every atom, there are an equal number of protons and electrons, so the overall
charge of any atom on the periodic table is « This is
because the and charges cancel each other
out!
Scientists use models to help us understand an atom’s
structure. Bohr models are made up of a nucleus and rings, orbits or
Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are called
These electrons are the most important electrons because they will determine if an atom
will bond or not! An atom can have a maximum of shells. The first shell can
hold a maximum of __ electrons, second shell ___ electrons, third shell __ electrons,
fourth shell electrons, fifth shell___ electrons, sixth shell___ electrons and the
seventh shell holds electrons.
Atoms make up elements. Elements came from distant . Dmitri Mendeleev
first organized the elements on a chart which we now call the periodic table of
elements. They are arranged according to the atom’s .The
periodic table itself is split up into two sections. The left side of the periodic table are __
and the right side are the The element's atomic
symbols that you see on the table are the abbreviations of their Latin names.
