Lecture 1.3 – Introduction to the Atom
Today’s Learning Target LT 1.7 – I can identify the size, location, and mass of the three subatomic particles found in the atom.
At the Particulate Level (APL) Now that we’ve talked about particles as atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, and mixtures, let’s focus on each on individually.
The Atom
Size of the Atom The atom has a diameter between 0.1 – 0.5 nm Point of reference: A basketball has a diameter of 234,500,000 nm
Three Types of Subatomic Particles All atoms contain the following subatomic particles: 1.Protons 2.Neutrons 3.Electrons
Protons Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is located in the center of the atom. Protons have a positive charge. We say that their charge is +1
Neutrons Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons do not have a charge. They are neutral James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932!
Mass of Protons and Neutrons Protons and neutrons have the same mass. Each subatomic particle has a mass of 1 amu. – amu = atomic mass unit
Electrons Electrons are found in the electron cloud. The electron cloud surrounds the nucleus of an atom. Electrons have a -1 charge
Mass of Electrons Electrons have a mass that is amu. Electrons do not contribute to the weight of an atom.
Neutral Like the car gear, like water, like switzerland! To be neutral, the positives and negatives must cancel out! Neutral Tweet! Equal nmbr of protons and electrons #Chemswag #Learning #MrAstorIsABoss The resulting charge is zero!
