The Atom • Smallest whole particle of matter • Mostly empty space • Always neutral
Atom is Neutral • # of protons is the same as the number of electrons • Protons = + • Electrons = -
Areas of an Atom • The Nucleus • Center • Protons & Neutrons • Positively charged
Areas con’t. • Orbits or Shells • Moving electrons • Cloudlike • Negatively charged
The Subatomic Particles • Proton • Charge = +1 • Mass = 1 amu • Abbreviation = p+ • # protons = atomic number
The Subatomic Particles • Neutron • No charge • Mass = 1 amu • Abbreviation = n
The Subatomic Particles • Electron • Charge = -1 • Mass = .0005amu • Abbreviation = e-
Terms • Atomic number = # protons • Ex: carbon = 6, Boron = 5 • Mass number = # protons + # neutrons
Mass # Atomic # Isotopes • Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers. • Nuclear symbol: • Hyphen notation: carbon-12 Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
Calculating Particles 11 Na 22.989 Atomic # = 11 Atomic Mass = 22.989
Calculating Particles 11 Na 22.989 11 protons (atomic #) 11 electrons (same as p+) 12 neutrons (mass #)
Making Ions • Add or remove e- • Remove = cation (+) • Add = anion (-)
Stable Atoms • Have 8 e- in the outermost orbit • The noble gases
