A Closer Look at the Atom Answer questions based on simulation: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/bui ld-an-atom
How do you figure out the number of: Protons in an atom? # protons = the atomic number Electrons in an atom? # electrons = # protons FOR NEUTRAL ATOMS, only! Neutrons in an atom? # neutrons = mass – # protons
What are Isotopes? Isotopes are different forms of the same element that have a different mass Isotopes have the same # protons but different # neutrons
What are Ions? Ions are atoms that have a positive or negative charge Ions have an unequal number of protons and electrons
Standard Nuclear Notation Note: for ions, the charge (+ or -) is indicated in the upper right corner
