Neutrons,Protons,Electrons

Question 1

Neutron

Answer 1

Are subatomic particles found inside the nucleus of every atom.Neutrons have a neutral electric charge (neither negative nor positive)

Question 2

Protons

Answer 2

Protons are tiny particles in an atom’s nucleus with a positive charge. They, along with neutrons, make up most of the atom’s mass and determine the element’s identity.

Question 3

Electrons

Answer 3

Electrons are tiny particles with a negative charge that orbit the nucleus of an atom. They play a key role in chemical reactions and bonding.

Question 4

Cation

Answer 4

This means that the atom loss an electron and it will show in the version of a ‘+’
E.g.Na+=positively charges sodium atom (lost an electron)

Question 5

Anion

Answer 5

This means that the atom gained an electron and it shows in the version of a ‘-‘
E.g.Na-Negatively charges sodium atom(gained an electron)

Question 6

Neutral Atom

Answer 6

An atom that has the same amount of protons and electrons this means it’s neutral.
E.g.Na=Neutral sodium atom

Question 7

Atomic number

Answer 7

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus

Question 8

Mass number

Answer 8

The mass number is the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus

Question 9

How to calculate neutrons

Answer 9

You minus the mass by the amount of protons
E.g. 35-17=18 neutrons
