Structure of the atom

?
Atoms
Are made up of protons,nuetrons and electrons
1 of 12
Protons
Have a positive charge
2 of 12
Electrons
Have a negative charge
3 of 12
Neutrons
Have no electric charge
4 of 12
Atomic number
Is the bottom number of an element and is the number of electrons in an atom of the element
5 of 12
Mass number
Is the top number of an element and is the total number of particles in the nucleus of a atom
6 of 12
Ion
Is a charged atom
7 of 12
Atoms that gain electrons...
Becomes a negative ion because the ion has more negative electrons than positive
8 of 12
Atoms that lose electrons..
Becomes a positive ion because there are more positive ions(protons)
9 of 12
Isotopes
Are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon
10 of 12
Isotopes of an element have different physical properties but...
Always have the same chemical properties
11 of 12
How are electrons arranged?
They are arranged around the nucleus in shells.1st shell- up to 2 electrons.2nd-up to 8 electrons.3rd & 4th shell-up to 8 electrons
