ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Name: Grade & Section:
Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC}
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in a

particular atom. (Code: S8MT-IIIe-f-10).
Learning Objectives:
Specifically, after going through this learning activity, learners are

expected to:
1. identify and describe the subatomic particles of an atom;

2. locate the atomic number and atomic mass in the periodic table;
3. identify the number of subatomic particles based on the given atomic mass
and atomic number of an element;
Time Allotment: 5 days
Key Concepts
• Atomic structure is the structure of an atom, theoretically consisting of a

positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged
electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus.
• The atomic number is the identification number of an element. It reveals

several characteristics of the atoms of the element, a) the number of protons
b) the number of electrons in a neutral atom. No two elements have the same
number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms. The atomic number is also the
number of electrons in a neutral atom. While the atomic number is the same
for all atoms of an element, their atomic mass may differ.
• Atoms of same element which have different masses are called isotopes. The
isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.
• The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and
electrons in the nucleus of an atom.
• An atom has a core or a nucleus that is very small. It contains all the
positive charge of the atom and most of its mass. The negatively charged
electrons move around the nucleus and occupy most of the volume of the
atom. Atoms are composed of three types of particles, namely, (1) protons, (2)
electrons and (3) neutrons. These components of the atom are called
collectively referred to as subatomic particles. Electron is negatively charged
particle and does not collapse into the positively charged nucleus. It is the
number of protons that identifies an atom. This number is the element’s
atomic number.

Activity 3. Self- Check!
Learning Objective: Identify the subatomic particles based on the given
atomic mass and atomic number of an element.
Direction: Refer to the periodic table. Complete the table below.
Example:

number of an element.

Atomic Mass number - is the number of protons + number of neutrons.
Number of neutrons – is the atomic mass number – atomic number.
Number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic
number.
Atomic number - is the number of protons in an atom.
Number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
Use the periodic table of elements to complete the charts below.

2.Boron 5 11 5
3.sodium 11 23 11
4.Calcium 20 40 20
5.Chlorine 17 35 18
Guide Questions
Q1. How many protons are there in hydrogen?
Q2. How many neutrons are there in an atom of Calcium?
Q3. How many electrons are there in an atom of Oxygen?
Q4. How does the periodic table of elements help us in identifying the
number of sub atomic particles?

Reflection: Based on the periodic table of elements, cite at least 4 examples of the
elements that are very useful to our daily lives.
