?
Where is the Nucleus?
Middle of the atom
1 of 13
What does the Nucleus contain?
Protons and Neutrons
2 of 13
What charge does the Nucleus have?
Positive charge
3 of 13
Where would you find electrons in an atom?
In electron shells orbiting the nucleus
4 of 13
What does the volume of the electron's orbit determine?
The size of the atom
5 of 13
Which particle has a mass of 1 and charge of +1?
Proton
6 of 13
What is the mass and charge of an Electron?
Mass -> 0.0005, Charge -> -1
7 of 13
What particle has a charge of 0 (neutral) and mass of 1?
Neutron
8 of 13
Why does the number of protons = the number of electrons?
The charge on the electrons is the same size as the charge on the protons, but opposite - so the charges will cancel out.
