Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The three primary subatomic particles that make up an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons and Neutrons
- Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom.
- Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge (neutral).
Electron Orbit
- Electrons orbit outside the nucleus in energy levels or electron shells.
Atomic Mass and Chemical Behavior
- The mass of an atom comes mainly from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- The number of protons in an atom (atomic number) plays a crucial role in determining chemical behavior.
