ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Label the following: Nucleus protons neutrons electrons
Simplified view of the atom
Protons = positive charge + electrons= negative charge - neutrons= no charge 0
ATOMIC MASS Inside the nucleus (mainly) protons + neutrons unit is AMU find on periodic table (round to whole #)
ATOMIC NUMBER Number of protons cannot change! Identifies element
IONS Charged atoms: NOT neutral p> e positive p< e negative example: 11p 11e 12 n neutral Na 11p 10 e 12n ion Na+
ISOTOPES Different number of neutrons than stable atom usually radioactive atomic mass is different than stable atom example: 234U
History of atomic stucture ttp://atomictimeline.net/index.php Rutherford’s experiment
Can we see atoms? STM- scanning tunneling microscope Invented 1981 Shows arrangement of atoms Gold
element- same atoms bonded together Compound- two (or more) different atoms bonded Mixtures- two (or more) different materials NOT bonded Minerals?-
WORKSHEET P= e= n= atomic mass= atomic number= how to recognize an ion? How to recognize an isotope?
TO CALCULATE # OF NEUTRONS Atomic mass (p+n) atomic number (p) SUBTRACT!
