Draw a picture of what the modern model of an atom looks like.

3. How does the volume of a nucleus compare to the volume of an atom?

4. How does the mass of a nucleus compare to the mass of an atom?

5. How can we calculate the Atomic Mass of an atom? Atomic Mass = the number of protons + _nutreons______________ 6. What determines the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. And an element has an atomic number of 4

7.If an element has an atomic number of 4, and an atomic mass of 9amu, how many protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus? Protons and

neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom, while the electron is outside the nucleus.

Particles Protons

Charge Positive electric charge with no electric charge

Mass 1 atomic mass unit (amu) 1 atomic mass unit (amu)

Location Nucleus

Nucleus

Electrons

Positive electric charge

Very small Orbiting the (insignificant) nucleus

Isotopes All the atoms of a substance have the same atomic number because they all have the same number of protons. However, atoms of the same substance may have different masses. 8. Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called ________________Isotopes_______.

Since the mass of an atom is so small scientists dont measure it in grams. Instead, they use atomic mass units (amu). 9. An isotopes name is usually the name of the substance followed by the number of _______protons_______ in the __masses_______________. Charges in Atoms 10. The charges of subatomic partials have a lot to do with the structure of an atom. Opposite charges attract: What charges to what? Opposite charges attract, so the positive charge of the protons holds the negatively charged electrons in the cloud around the nucleus.

11. What holds protons together even though they are all positively charged? Charges repel each other over powering the force of repolution is strong nuclear force.

12. When does an atom have a neutral charge? In an atom with the same numbers of protons and electrons, the charges balance and the atom is neutral.

13. Atoms that have an electric charge are called ions. Describe how an atom can become positively and negatively charged. An atom became positively and negatively charge when you and or take away electrons.
