Atoms

• Smallest possible unit into which matter can be divided, while still maintaining its properties.

• Made up of:– protons– neutrons– electrons

For example, what is the smallest possible unit

into which a long essay can be divided and still have some meaning?

Protons (+)

• Positively charged particles

• Help make up the nucleus of the atom

• Help identify the atom (could be considered an atom’s DNA)

• Equal to the atomic number of the atom

• Contribute to the atomic mass

• Equal to the number of electrons

Neutrons

• Neutral particles; have no electric charge

• Help make up the nucleus of the atom

• Contribute to the atomic mass

Electrons (-)• Negatively charged

particles• Found outside the nucleus

in shells ( 1st = 2, 2nd = 8, 3rd = 8 or 18, etc…)

• Smaller than protons and neutrons

• Equal to the number of protons

• Involved chemical bonding of other atoms

The Atom’s “Center”

• Protons and neutrons are grouped together to form the “center” or nucleus of an atom.

Mass Number

• The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom’s nucleus

• Expressed in Atomic Mass Units (amu)– Each proton or neutron has a mass of 1 amu
