Atomic Stucture Topic 3 Flashcards
The atoms subatomic particles
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
The cluster of …….. are found
The cluster of protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.
The electrons are found
In the shells.
The elements on the periodic table are organised by
Atomic number r
Protons relative charge
+1
Proton relative mass
1
Neutron relative charge
0
Neutron relative mass
1
Electron relative charge
-1
Electrons relative mass
1/1840
Mass number
Total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
Atomic structure
Number of protons in (nucleus of) an atom
An atom of an element must contain equal numbers of
Protons and electrons to ensure its neutral I.e no overall charge
Number of neutrons
Mass number - number of protons
Basically top number - bottom number
AMPEN
Atomic structure - mass = Protons, electrons and neutrons
Protons and electrons are the same as atomic number
And neutrons are the mass take away the atomic structure
