Questions and Answers

What do protons and electrons in an atom carry?

Both protons and electrons are neutrally charged.

Electrons carry no charge while protons are negatively charged.

Protons carry a positive charge, and electrons carry a negative charge. (correct)

Protons carry a neutral charge, and electrons carry a positive charge.

What is the role of neutrons in an atom?

Neutrons provide a positive charge to the nucleus.

Neutrons are responsible for the atom's bonding capacity.

Neutrons determine the color of the element.

Neutrons carry no electrical charge. (correct)

Where do electrons reside in an atom?

In the nucleus of the atom.

In spaces called electron shells outside the nucleus. (correct)

Only in solids, not in liquids or gases.

Embedded within protons and neutrons.

Study Notes

Atoms: Building Blocks of Matter

Atoms are the fundamental units of matter, forming everything in the universe.
Different types of atoms make up elements (e.g., oxygen, lead, gold).
A pure substance like gold is made up of billions of gold atoms.

Atomic Structure

Atoms contain tiny particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Each element has a unique number of these particles.
Protons have a positive charge.
Electrons have a negative charge.
Neutrons have no charge (neutral).
Protons and neutrons are located in the atom's nucleus.
Electrons orbit the nucleus in electron shells.
Electron shells have specific capacities for electrons.
The further away from the nucleus, the more electrons a shell can hold.

Atomic Bonding and States of Matter

Atoms bond together to form various substances.
Atoms can exist independently or in groups.
Closely packed atoms form solids (like rocks)—atoms are like being in a very crowded elevator.
Atoms with more space between them form liquids—imagine moving in an elevator with fewer people.
Free-moving atoms form gases—imagine a large, empty space (like a lobby) where you and your friends can move freely.
