Study Notes
Fundamental Elements of an Atom
- The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom defines the element.
- The periodic table is arranged in order of atomic number.
- The atomic number is the number of protons in the element.
- The number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
- The electron and the neutron are the other two constituents of an atom.
- The protons and neutrons are at the center of the atom.
- Carbon-12 has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus.
- The number of neutrons can change in different isotopes of the same element.
- Carbon-12 is neutral and has six electrons.
- Electrons move around the nucleus and are attracted to protons by electromagnetic force.
- Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
- Neutrons are neutral and do not have a charge.
