Atomic Structure
Do you know the charge, location and mass of each subatomic particle?
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Protons | Positive subatomic particle found in the nucleus |
Electrons | Negative subatomic particles found in the electron cloud |
Neutrons | Neutral subatomic particles found in the nucleus |
Element's Identity | Number of protons (or Atomic Number) |
Mass Number | = Protons + Neutrons |
Number of Neutrons | = Mass Number - Protons |
Electron Cloud | The negatively charged area surrounding the nucleus |
Nucleus | The positively charged dense center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons |
Valence Electrons | Electrons located on the outermost energy level; Determine reactivity |
Negative | The overall charge of the electron cloud |
Neutral | Means no charge |
Positive | The overall charge of the nucleus |
Subatomic Partilces | Protons, Neutrons and Electrons |
Atom | The smallest unit of matter |
