What are atoms?

A

Atoms are the smallest pieces of matter. Each element has its own unique atom.

27
Q

What are atoms made of?

A

Protons, neutrons and electrons

28
Q

What are the charges for the 3 sub atomic particles?

A

Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negative.

29
Q

What does a Bohr Rutherford diagram look like?

A

Neutrons and protons in the middle, with electrons orbiting around,

30
Q

What is the atomic number?

A

The atomic number is how many protons there are, and how many electrons there as well if neutrally charged

31
Q

What is the mass number?

A

The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons

32
Q

What are isotopes?

A

Isotopes are different forms of the same element, with varying amounts of neutrons.

33
Q

what is the center of an atomic structure called and what’s in it?

A

it’s called a nucleus and there are protons and neutrons.

34
Q

what is the outer part of a atom structure called and what’s in it

A

it’s called a shell and there are electrons in it

35
Q

what are the 2 types of mixtures?

A

the two types of mixtures are mechanical mixtures (heterogenous) and solutions (homogenous).

36
Q

what are the two types of pure substances?

A

the two types of pure substances are elements and compounds.
