Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the smallest part of an element and make up all matter.
- Atoms are composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons have a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (a.m.u.) and a positive charge (+1). They are located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons have a mass of 1 a.m.u. and no charge. They are also located in the nucleus.
- Electrons have a mass of 1/1836 a.m.u. and a negative charge (-1). They are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
- Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
- Ions are charged atoms that have lost or gained electrons.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons.
- The Bohr model shows electrons orbiting the nucleus in energy levels.
- The first energy level can hold two electrons.
- The next two energy levels can hold eight electrons each.
