Atomic Structure

Front

Subatomic particles with a negative charge

Back

Electrons are subatomic particles that carry a negative charge and are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What electrical charge does a proton have?

Back

+1. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

Where are electrons likely to be found as they travel around the nucleus?

Back

Electrons are likely to be found in the Electron Cloud, which is the region around the nucleus where electrons are most likely to be located.

Front

Subatomic particles that are neutral in charge

Back

Neutrons are subatomic particles that have no charge (neutral) and are found in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

Which subatomic particles are found in the nucleus of an atom?

Back

Protons and Neutrons are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What is the charge of a neutron?

Back

Neutrons have no charge, making them neutral particles.

Front

What is the charge of an electron?

Back

Electrons have a negative charge (-1).

Front

What are quarks?

Back

Quarks are fundamental particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What is the nucleus of an atom?

Back

The nucleus is the central part of an atom, containing protons and neutrons, and is positively charged.

Front

How do protons and electrons interact?

Back

Protons and electrons attract each other due to their opposite charges, which helps to keep electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
