    Study Notes

    Subatomic Particles

    • Protons carry a positive charge and are found in the nucleus of an atom.
    • Electrons have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus.
    • Neutrons are neutral particles, also located in the nucleus, with no electrical charge.

    Mass of Subatomic Particles

    • The mass of a proton is approximately 2000 times that of an electron.
    • A neutron has a mass equivalent to that of one proton.

    Atomic Structures

    • Atomic Number refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an element, determining the element's identity.
    • Mass Number is the total count of protons and neutrons within an element’s nucleus.

    Relationships in Atomic Composition

    • The number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
    • Isotopes are variants of an element that contain additional neutrons compared to the standard atomic form.
    • Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net charge due to the imbalance of protons and electrons.
