AN ATOM !!

What are they?

• The Nucleus at the core holds Protons and Neutrons.

• Outside of the Nucleus are Electrons.

• The amount of each is what we call the Atomic Number.

• For example: Hydrogen's Atomic Number is 1, so that means it has 1 Proton, Neutron AND Electron.

Protons!

• Positively Charged particles

• Has a mass that is equal to Electrons

Neutrons

• Have neither a positive or negative charge.

• They have very little mass.

Electrons

• Negatively charged particles.

• They can be shared with other atoms!

Multiple Choice

If I am positively charged, what am I?

• A Proton

• A Neutron

• An Electron

• A Speedy Train

Multiple Choice

If I am neutral, and the scale is BARELY moving, what am I?

• Proton

• Neutron

• Electron

Multiple Choice

I share myself with other atoms, and I am negatively charged, what am I?

• Proton

• Neutron

• Electron

What makes them similar?

• Protons and Electrons have the same mass

• Their total mass is what becomes an element's ATOMIC Mass

• Protons + Electrons = Atomic Mass

Multiple Choice

• 5

• 6

• 7

• 8

• 10
