What is an atom?
An atom is the smallest substance that consists of charges of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Atom facts
Very small about 0.1 nano meter in radius had no electrical charge. Also are the smallest element known.
what are Protons?
Are Positive charged subatomic particles in the nucleus with a +1 atomic mass unite.
what are Neutrons?
Are subatomic particles in the nucleus with no charge and has 1 atomic mass unite.
What is electrons?
Are subatomic particles with a negative charge found in the outer shell and has a atomic mass of -1
Why do atoms have no charge?
As a atom as the same number of positive protons as negative electrons.
What is an element?
The simplest type of pure substance is an element. They are substance that cannot be chemically be broken down into separate parts.
E.G. Iron and sulfure both elements. Once they are purified they cannot be chemically separated into simpler substances.
What is the atomic number?
The number of only protons in a atom.
What is the mass number?
The number of both protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What is electron configuration?
Is numbers and dots showing the decision of where electrons are located/ organised in the outer shells/shell of an atom.
