ATOMSIt’s what makes us up!
ATOMS
•The smallest particle which an element can be divided and still be the same substance.
Atom Size
•1 Penny= 2 x 10^22 Cu and Zn ATOMS
•That’s (20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)
•Thickness of aluminum foil is about 50,000 aluminum atoms stacked up!
Parts of the ATOM
•Protons (+)
•Neutrons (0)
•Electrons (-)
NUCLEUS
Nucleus
•ALL Protons (+) are identical.
•Mass= 1 amu (atomic mass unit)
•ALL Neutrons (0) are identical.
•Mass= 1 amu
NUCLEUS
•Most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus.
•1 amu= 1.7 x 10^ -24 g
PROTONS
•Found in the nucleus
•Positive charge
•Mass= 1 amu
•AMU= atomic mass unit- SI unit for measuring mass of atomic particles)
Atomic Number
•Atomic Number= # of protons in an atom
•ALL atoms of an element have the same number of protons!
Neutrons
•Found in the nucleus
•Neutral= no charge
•Mass= 1 amu (atomic mass unit)
MASS NUMBER
•Mass Number= protons + neutrons
ELECTRONS (-)
•Found in Electrons Cloud Outside the nucleus.
•In an atom:
•# of protons = # of electrons
•The atom has no charge!
•Mass of an electron= almost 0 (We will call it zero)
ELECTRONS (-)
•Comparing the masses
•1,800 electrons = 1 proton
Model of Atom
IONS
•Charge particles
•Positive ion
•Protons (+) > Electrons (-)
•Negative ions
•Electrons(-) > Protons (+)
ISOTOPES
•Atoms that have a different # of neutrons than protons.
•The number of protons do not change!
ISOTOPES
Name that Isotope!
•Write the name of the element!
•Follow that with a hyphen.
•And the mass of the isotope!
