Atomic Structure
Atom
- The smallest part of an element that has the chemical properties of that
element
- Made up of empty spaces
- Nucleus = at the centre of each atom (very tiny and dense region)
- Around the nucleus is a could of moving particles = electrons
Atom
Consists:
Isotopes
- Atoms of the same elements with the same number of protons but different
numbers of neutrons
- Have similar physical properties (depend on the mass and their masses
are different)
- Same chemical properties (depending on the number of electrons and they
have some of electrons)
Relative masses
