Drawing an Atom: Techniques and Tips

What additional materials are needed to draw an atom besides paper and pencils?

• A calculator

• A ruler

• Crayons and markers

• A microscope

Where can you find a copy of the Periodic Table of Elements?

• On the Frostbite Theater website

• At a local library

• In a science fiction novel

• In a chemistry textbook

What does the atomic number of an element represent?

• The atomic weight

• The number of protons

• The number of neutrons

• The number of electrons

How many protons does an atom of nitrogen have?

• 8

• 6

• 5

• 7

Why are atoms electrically neutral?

• They have an equal number of protons and neutrons

• They have an equal number of protons and electrons

• They have an equal number of neutrons and electrons

• They have no charge

What are isotopes?

• Atoms with different numbers of protons and electrons

• Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons

• Atoms with the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons

• Atoms with the same number of electrons but different numbers of protons

How do you calculate the number of neutrons in an atom?

• Add the atomic number to the mass number

• Divide the atomic number by the mass number

• Subtract the atomic number from the mass number

• Multiply the atomic number by the mass number

Where are the protons and neutrons located in an atom?

• In the electron cloud

• In the nucleus

• In the outer shell

• In the inner shell

According to the Bohr model, how many electrons can the first shell hold?

• 1

• 2

• 4

• 8

What is a major limitation of the atomic model used in the drawing?

• The electrons are too close to the nucleus

• The neutrons are not included

• The protons are too far from the nucleus

• The model does not show isotopes
