INTRODUCTION Matter Anything that occupies space and has mass. e.gair, water, animals, trees, atoms, ….. All matter consist of tiny particles called atoms

Objective: At the end of the lesson, you should be able to: 1) Identify and describe protons, electrons and neutrons as sub-atomic particles TOPIC 1: MATTER SUB TOPIC: Atoms and Molecules This page will revises the simple ideas about atomic structure that you have come across in an introductory chemistry course (i.e. SPM). You need to be confident about this before you go on to the more difficult ideas about atom. THE SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES An atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element/compound. In an atom, there are three subatomic particles: -Proton (p) -Neutron (n) Electron (e) Back to content Packed in a small nucleus Move rapidly around the nucleus of an atom

Modern Model of the Atom Electrons move around the region of the atom. - - electron nucleus Proton ( positive charge) + + Neutron (neutral)

So, the number of neutrons is equal to the different between the nucleon no. & the proton no. or ( A-Z). Ex. Nucleon no. of fluorine is 19 & proton no. is 9. Thus, the no. of neutrons in fluorine is 19 – 9 = 10. Note: proton no., nucleon no. & no. of neutrons all must be positive integers (whole numbers) Nucleon number or mass number

For example, the proton no. of nitrogen is 7. This means that each neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons. Proton number or atomic number

For example atom of uranium with nucleon numbers of 235 and proton numbers of 92. So the uranium can be denoted as:- U Atomic symbol

Ex: Number of protons = proton number = 13 Number of neutrons = nucleon number – proton number = = 14 Number of electron= proton number – charge carried by species = 13 – ( +3) = 10

Q: determine the number of proton, neutron and electron in the following species.

solution Number of protons = proton number = 38 Number of neutrons = nucleon number – proton number = 90 – 38 = 52 Number of electron= proton number (species is neutral) = 38 Sr Sr

Number of protons = proton number = 17 Number of neutrons = nucleon number – proton number = 35 – 17 = 18 Number of electron= proton number – charge carried by species = 17 – (-1) = Cl -

Objective: At the end of the lesson, you should be able to: 2) Define proton number, nucleon number and isotopes TOPIC 1: MATTER SUB TOPIC: Atoms and Molecules 1.State the sub-atomic particles of an atom? 2.Define proton numbers and nucleon numbers? 3.What is isotopes? Use hydrogen as an example. ANSWER 1.Protons, electrons & neutrons 2.Proton numbers = number of protons in the nucleus of an atom Nucleon numbers = total no. of protons & neutrons in atom 3.Isotopes = atoms that have the same no. of protons but have different nucleon numbers.

Objective: At the end of the lesson, you should be able to: 2) Define proton number, nucleon number and isotopes TOPIC 1: MATTER SUB TOPIC: Atoms and Molecules 1.Give the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in each of the following species: (a) (b) (c) ANSWER * Recall that the superscript denotes nucleon number & the subscript denotes proton number. (a) Proton number = 8, so there are 8 protons. Nucleon number = 17, so the number of neutrons is 17-8 = 9. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons, that is 8. (b) Proton numbers = 80, so there are 80 protons. Nucleon number = 199, so the number of neutrons is = 119. The number of electrons = 80. (c) Number of protons = 80. Number of neutrons, = 120. Number of electrons = 80. Hg O
