Atomic Structure - Chapter 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Atoms are made up of several ____ | components |
Components are called the ____ | elementary particles |
The 3 major elementary particles are _____ | protons, neutrons, electrons |
The protons and neutrons are packed together in an inner core called the _____ | nucleus |
The outer part of the atom, which contains electrons, is called the ____ | electron cloud |
Like electrical charges ____ each other | repel |
Unlike electrical charges ____ each other | attract |
The nucleus attracts negatively charged electrons. Therefore, the overall charge of the nucleus must be | positive |
An atom consists of an inner part, or ____, that is made up of ____ and _____ | Nucleus, protons, neutrons |
The electrons have what type of charge? | negative |
The proton has what type of charge? | positive |
The neutron has a charge of _____ | zero |
The charge on the electron balances the charge on the proton. If the electron has a charge of -1, then the proton would have a charge of _____ | +1 |
An atom with one proton in its nucleus and one electron outside that nucleus would therefore have an overall charge of | 0 |
Atoms are electrically neutral. Therefore, an atom will contain an ____ number of ____ and ____ | equal, protons, electrons |
An atom with 12 protons in the nucleus would have how many electrons outside the necleus? | 12 |
