Atomic Number (Z)
● The atomic number (Z) is the identification number of an element. The
atomic number is equal to the number of protons which is also equal to
the number of electrons, assuming that the charge of an element is
neutral. Let’s say, carbon (C) whose atomic number is 6, the number of
protons is also 6, and the number of electrons is 6 as well.
● Since the number of protons in the atoms of a particular element is
always the same, the atomic number of an element is fixed.

Example: Sodium has a 1+ charge, therefore it has 1 more proton (excess)
than the electron.
Neutron (n)
● The number of neutrons in an atom can be determined by subtracting
the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number.

● The isotopes are identified through their mass number which is the sum
of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in an atom. A
shorthand notation for isotope includes the element’s symbol and mass
number, for instance, Ca-40.
Figure 3. The isotope lithium-7 has the atomic number 3 & the mass number
7.

● Since they have the same number of protons, isotopes are different
forms of the same element.
Example
Boron atoms contain 5 protons. There are two isotopes of boron – one
containing 5 neutrons and one containing 6 neutrons. These isotopes
therefore have the atomic number 5 and mass numbers 10 and 11
respectively. They can be written as boron-10 and boron-11, or as 410B
and 411B

boxes? Give at least a 2-sentence statement for each item.
Activity 2: Read Between the Lines
Objective: To describe the important features of protons, electrons and
neutrons.
What you need: Paper and pen

paper.
WANNA KNOW ME?
by: Marygrace E. Nanol
I am everywhere,
I made up everything big or small,
Short or tall, living or non-living,
Solid, liquid or gas.
And I’m very proud of it!
In fact, I made you beautiful with your hair.
Don’t you know that across the width of your hair
Consist of about one million of me?
Minute as I am,
Yet composed of three different characteristics.
The optimistic or the hopeful proton,
The pessimistic or the despair electron,
And the unbiased neutron.
Over-all I am a fair, neutral atom.
Guiding Questions: From the poem above, answer the following questions.
1. Who am I?
2. Am I visible?
3. What are the 3 sub-atomic particles of atom and give its charges.
Activity 3. Atomic Calculations Worksheet
Objectives:
1. To locate the atomic numbers of elements/isotopes in a
periodic table,
2. To determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons.
What you need: paper, ballpen, ruler, periodic table of elements
What to do:
1. With the use of the periodic table of elements, locate the atomic
number and atomic mass of an element. Round-off the atomic
mass.
2. Complete the tables below, the first two is answered for your
reference.
3. Use the formula: mass number = atomic number + number of
neutrons
For neutral atoms: Atomic number = # of protons = # of electrons

For isotopes: Atomic number = # of protons; # of electrons vary
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons

Guiding Question:
1. How is the number of electrons for a neutral atom of a given element
related to the atomic number of that element?
2. Why atoms are considered the “basic building blocks” of matter even
though smaller particles, such as protons and electrons, exist?
Activity 4. Similarities and differences of the sub-atomic particles
Objectives: To compare and contrast the 3 sub-atomic particles.
What you need: Paper and pen
What to do: Using a Venn diagram, indicate the differences and similarities
of the three sub-atomic particles.

Reflection
1. Based on the lesson, how is atomic structure relevant to our daily
life? Understanding these concepts gives you an idea on how atoms are

arranged accordingly. Subatomic particles give you a clearer point of view to
understand the different elements.
2. Rutherford’s atomic theory proposed a dense nucleus surrounded by
very small electrons. This implies that atoms are composed mainly of empty
space. If all matter is mainly empty in space, why is it impossible to walk
through walls or pass your hand through your desk?
