This document contains two activities about elements and their properties. Activity 1 has students fill in a table with the mass number, atomic number, protons, electrons, and neutrons for 10 different elements. Activity 2 has 3 questions about the components of atoms, how subatomic particles affect atomic properties, and how atoms of different elements are distinguished. The document provides an educational worksheet about basic atomic structure and properties.

1. What are the components of the atom? How are they different?
Answer: There is Neutron, electron and Proton, Neutron
has no charge while electron has - and proton is + 2. How do the subatomic particles affect the properties of an atom?
Answer: A neutron atom contains an equal number of
protons and electrons due to the attraction between electron and proton due to their opposite charges. The subatomic particles that have an impact on chemical reactions are electrons because of their orbital motion around atomic nuclei.
3. How are atoms of different elements distinguished from
one another?
Answer: Electron has - charge and proton is + while
