Atomic Structure Atoms are made of 3 subatomic particles: proton, neutron, electron NAME WHERE FOUND Protons Nucleus ELECTRIC CHARGE Positive (+) SIZE IMPORTANCE 1 amu Determines the identity of an element Number of protons is the atomic number Neutrons Nucleus No Charge 1 amu Electrons Somewhere Negative (-) 1/1836 amu Determines (w/ protons) the mass of the atom Determines how atoms reacts with other atoms Each energy level in the electron cloud can hold a limited # of electrons in the Electron Cloud-exact location unknown Atoms AMU = Atomic Mass Unit. It is the size of a proton. It takes 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 protons to make 1 gram. Atoms are electrically neutral. This is because an atom has the same number of protons (positive charges) as electrons (negative charges) Chemical Symbol An abbreviation that represents the name of an element The chemical symbol can contain 1 or 2 letters. The first letter is always capitalized. The second letter is lower cased. Ex.: Hydrogen =H Silicon - Si Atomic Number Remember: Make an A+, you’re #1! Atomic number is the number of protons in an element. It identifies the element. If you change the number of protons, you change the element. Mass Number Mass Number- Equal to the number of protons + the number of neutrons in an atom. MASS NUMBER = # PROTONS + # NEUTRONS We can use the mass number to find the number of neutrons an element has. To find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number from the mass number. # NEUTRONS = MASS NUMBER - ATOMIC NUMBER Atomic Mass Atomic Mass: The average mass of all known isotopes of an element. This is found on the periodic table. Isotopes are the elements that have atoms with different numbers of neutrons, so a different mass number Isotopes Mass Number Atomic Number 2 1 H Chemical Symbol Ex.: Hydrogen Isotopes Isotope Name 1 1H Protium 2 H 1 Deuterium 3 1H Tritium (Hydrogen-1) (Hydrogen-2) (Hydrogen-3) Mass Number *Because the mass number is different for each isotope of hydrogen, the number of neutrons in each atom is different. The number of protons, however, is the same.
