A stable carbon atom has the following parts: – 6 protons – 6 neutrons – 6 electrons Describe the location of each of these parts in a carbon atom. 9 8 10 20 30 7 5 2 3 4 180 6 40 130 140 50 120 70 80 60 160 170 1 150 100 90 110 Seconds Left:

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, at the very center. Electrons are found in an electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.

Protons – in the nucleus, positive charge Neutrons – in the nucleus, no charge Electrons – outside the nucleus, negative charge

An electrically neutral atom undergoes a change to become negatively charged. The atom's atomic mass decreases. A student explains that the atom most likely lost a neutron. – Describe one strength and one weakness of the student's explanation. 9 8 10 20 30 7 5 2 3 4 180 6 40 130 140 50 120 70 60 1 160 170 110 150 80 100 90 Seconds left:

One strength of the explanation is that an atom's mass consists mostly of the mass of its protons and neutrons. Electrons have very little mass. So, the atom must have lost either a proton or neutron. One weakness, however, is that neutrons have no charge. So, removing the neutron should not affect the atom's charge. It is more likely that a proton was removed.

ATOM – the smallest part of matter that has the properties of the matter ISOTOPE – different forms of the same atom; they have the same numbers of protons, but different numbers of neutrons ION – an atom that has lost or gained electrons

An atom consists of 7 neutrons, 7 electrons, and a number of protons An atom consists of 7 neutrons, 7 electrons, and a number of protons. The atom has a charge of -1. What is its mass number? 9 8 10 20 30 7 5 2 3 4 180 6 40 130 140 50 120 70 60 1 160 170 110 150 80 Seconds Left: 100 90

The atom has a mass number of 13 To find the mass number we have to know the # of protons & the # of neutrons. We know there are 7 neutrons; ??? protons An atom with a charge of -1 has gained an electron (added a – charge) Atoms begin w/ = numbers of protons & electrons, so the atom began with 6 electrons & 6 protons. 6 protons + 7 neutrons = a mass # of 13
