1 of 20
NUCLEUS
.
2 of 20
Where is the nucleus?
In the middle of the atom
3 of 20
What is in the nucleus?
It contains protons and neutrons
4 of 20
What is the radius of the nucleus?
1 x 10 ^-14
5 of 20
What charge does the nucleus have?
It has a positive charge because of the protons
6 of 20
Mass
Almost the whole of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus
7 of 20

.
8 of 20
Where do electrons move?
Around the atom shells
9 of 20
What is the charge of an electron?
They're negatively charged
10 of 20
How big are electrons?
Tiny, but they cover a lot of space
11 of 20
The volume of their orbits...
Determine the size of the atom
12 of 20
What is the mass of an electron?
They have virtually no mass
13 of 20
What is the overall charge of an atom?
Atoms are neutral
14 of 20
Why are atoms neutral?
Because they have the same number of protons as neutrons
15 of 20
Number of protons =...
Number of neutrons
16 of 20
What does the nuclear symbol of an atom tell you?
Its atomic (proton) number and mass number
17 of 20
Atomic number = ...
How many protons there are
18 of 20
Mass number = ...
