Question
1.the 3 particles of the atom are:
a.
b.
c.
their respective charges are:
a.
b.
c.
2.the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s
____________________, and the number of electrons determines
____________________ of an element.
3.the atomic number tells you the number of ____________________ in one atom of an
element. it also tells you the number of ____________________ in a neutral atom of that
element. the atomic number gives the “identity” of an element as well as its location on the
periodic table. no two different elements will have the
____________________ atomic number.
4.the ____________________ of an element is the average mass of an element ’s naturally
occurring atom, or isotopes, taking into account the ____________________ of each isotope.
5.the ____________________ of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in
the ____________________ of the atom.
6.the mass number is used to calculate the number of ____________________ in one atom of
an element. in order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the
__________________ from the __________________.
7.give the symbol and number of protons in one atom of:
lithium ____________ bromine ____________
iron ____________ copper ____________
oxygen ____________ mercury ____________
krypton ____________ helium ____________
Question 1
Atoms are composed of three main subatomic particles. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged.
The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number, which defines the element's identity. The number of electrons (in a neutral atom, equal to protons) and their arrangement determine the chemical properties, as electrons are involved in bonding.
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Each element has a unique atomic number, so no two elements share the same atomic number.
