Basic Atomic Structure Worksheet
1
The 3 particles of the atom are:
a proton
b _@lecteons
—nheurcons _
Their respective charges are
a nti
b. “
The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s dent ty and the
‘number of electrons determines the_ hora, Q of the element.
The atomic number tells you the number of __O CO LONS in one atom of an element. It also
tells you the number of _ @\ec* cons, ina neutral atom of that element. The atomic number
gives the “identity” of an element as well as its location on the periodic table. No two different elements will
have the__ SQmne atomic number.
The Atomic MNASS _ ofan element is the average mass of an element's naturally occurring atom, or
isotopes, taking into account the _ Ma $S of each isotope.
The Atomic YMG4SS _ of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in the
AUCIEUS of the atom
‘The mass number is used to calculate the number of _\@ua tC ONS inone atom ofan element. In
order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the @tOmmic Mumber from the
atomic mass |
