Atomic Structure
Basic atomic structure, charges, abbreviations
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 3 Basic subatomic particles | Electron, Proton, Neutron |
| Electrons | The negatively charged particles around the nucleus (in the cloud) |
| Protons | The positively charged particles in the nucleus |
| Neutrons | The neutral particles in the nucleus (no charge) |
| Nucleus | The center of the atom containing both protons and neutrons |
| Electron Cloud | the area around the nucleus where electrons can be found |
| Charge of a Proton | 1+ |
| Charge of a Neutron | 0 (No charge) |
| Charge of an Electron | 1- |
| Atomic Number | = # of protons in the nucleus of an atom |
| Mass Number | = # of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom |
| # of Protons in Carbon | 6 p+ |
| # of Electrons in Carbon | 6 e- |
| # of Neutrons in Carbon | 6 n |
| # of Neutrons in Carbon 14 | 8 n |
| # of Protons in Lithium | 3 p+ |
| # of Electrons in Lithium | 3 e- |
| # of Neutrons in Lithium | 4 n |
| # of Neutrons in Lithium 8 | 5 n |
| Relative Mass (amu) of a Proton | 1 amu |
| Relative Mass (amu) of a Neutron | 1 amu |
| Relative Mass (amu) of an Electron | 1/1840 amu |
| # of electrons is equal to... | the # of protons (also = to the Atomic Number) |
| # of Protons in Gold-205 | 79 |
| # of Electrons in Gold-205 | 79 |
| # of Neutrons in Gold-205 | 126 |
