1. Atomic Structure

2. Label the diagram with the location of each part of the atom.
NEUTRON
PROTON
ELECTRON
NUCLEUS
ELECTRON
ORBITAL

3. Label each of the “tabs” of your Atom Booklet with a part of atom.
electrons
protons
neutrons
ATOM

4. Atoms are made of a nucleus and an electron cloud.
Fold down front page (Atom Page) of booklet. On back of (Atom Page) write following items:
Atoms are made of a nucleus and an electron cloud.
Nucleus – center of atom, location of protons & neutrons, contains most of atom’s mass.
Electron cloud – location of electrons in electron orbitals ( electron paths).

5. On the “Neutron” page of the booklet, write the following items.
Located in the atomic nucleus
Neutral, no charged particles
Mass of each particle = 1
Atomic Mass of element – no. of protons = no. of neutrons

6. On the “Protons” page of the booklet, write the following items.
Located in the atomic nucleus
Positively (+) charged particles
Mass of each particle = 1
Atomic no. of element = number of protons

7. On the “Electrons” page of the booklet, write the following items.
Located in the electron cloud
Negatively (-) charged particles
Mass of each particle = 0
Number of electrons = number of protons
Symbol: e-

8. Color the Following: “Electron” tab & (e-) on Atom model: YELLOW
“Proton” tab & protons on model: RED
“Neutron” tab & neutrons on model: BLUE

9. Label Charges on Atom Model
Beside each electron: write, “(-) charge”
Beside each proton: write, “(+) charge”
Beside each neutron: write, “neutral”
