Structure of the Atom

Structure of the Atom


Hello all, today we learnt about the structure of the atom woooohoooo.  Here is what we learned!

An atom contains 3 subatomic particles called:

protons
-Represented as 1
                          1 P

electrons
-Represented as 1
                          0 N

neutrons
-Represented as 0
                         -1 E

On the periodic table:

Atomic Number = # of protons = # of electrons
Atomic Mass(average) = # of protons + neutrons

Ions = # of electrons - charge

Anions = negatively charged ion

Cations = positively charged ion

What are isotopes?  Well they are:

-The same element, but heavier.
