Atoms have a small central nucleus containing protons and neutrons Structure of an Atom Atoms have a small central nucleus containing protons and neutrons Electrons orbit the nucleus Protons, neutrons and electrons have different masses and charges Structure of an Atoms

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus In an atom, the number of electrons always equals the number of protons Atoms do not have an overall electrical charge Atomic Number
Atomic number Atomic Number
The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number Mass Number
Mass number Mass Number
Calculations Calculations
Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons (e.g. carbon-12 and carbon-14) Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers Isotopes
Isotopes Isotopes
Each electron in an atom is at a particular energy level (or shell) Electrons Each electron in an atom is at a particular energy level (or shell) Electrons fill the lowest energy levels first (nearest to the nucleus) The first shell can take a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can take 8, and the third shell can take 8 Electrons
