The Parts of the Atom

MATTER = ATOM All matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are the smallest part of an element that keeps that element’s properties. If an atom were the size of a football field, the nucleus would be the size of a marble and nearly all of the mass of the atom is in the nucleus. The space around the nucleus and the electron have very, very little mass. This means that matter is mostly empty!

The nucleus contains most of the mass of the atom (protons + neutrons). The rest is mostly empty space!

〉 The difference between protons, neutrons, and electrons is:

Sub -Atomic Particles & Charge Protons have a positive charge. (+1) Neutrons are electrically neutral. (0) Electrons have a negative charge. (-1)

Protons & Neutrons The atomic number equals the number of protons. The mass number equals the total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus. (protons and neutrons)

Look at the periodic table, and find each of the elements above. Find where they Atomic Number is located on the table.

Neutrons The number of neutrons can be calculated. number of neutrons = mass number – atomic number

ISOTOPES of an element - vary in mass because their numbers of neutrons differ. This is why the atomic weight is not always a whole number it is an average of the atomic masses for that element

Protons The number of protons is what distinguishes the atom from another. Change the number of protons and you change the element. Hydrogen – 1 Helium - 2

Electrons Most atoms are electrically neutral. Have the same number of electrons as protons. Same positives and negatives  = 0, If the numbers aren’t even the atom is charged and is called an Ion  ++ - = +1, = -1

I On Example. Hydrogen, which has an atomic number of 1, usually has 1 proton and 1 electron A Hydrogen Ion has 1 proton and 2 electrons…therefore it has a charge of -1. ( 1 p= + 1, 2 e= -2….so = -1) Only electrons can be gained or lost!!!!!

Valence Electrons are the electrons in the outer most shell (don’t count all electrons, only last shell) Determine the chemical properties of the atom Each shell can only hold so many e- When the shell is full it is said to be stable Shell 1 = 2 Shell 2 = 8 Shell 3 = 8

Valence Electrons

Goodbye e-, Welcome e- Atoms want their valance shells filled!! So sometimes an electron might leave or one might be ‘invited in’ to fill or empty a valance shell This is why Ions exist….if an electron leaves or joins the atom, now the number of protons and electrons is NOT the same, therefore there is a charge!!
