Study Notes

Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons

Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Electrons occupy areas around the nucleus in orbits.
Neutrons are also located in the nucleus alongside protons.
Neutrons carry no electric charge (neutral).
Electrons have a charge of -1 (negative charge).
Protons possess a charge of +1 (positive charge).
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons and neutrons each have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu).
Electrons have a significantly smaller mass of about 1/300 amu.
AMU stands for atomic mass unit, a standard unit of mass in atomic and molecular physics.
Electrons are the smallest among protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Isotopes are variants of elements that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
An element consists of only one type of atom.
Compounds are formed when different elements chemically combine.
Molecules consist of non-metallic elements that are chemically bonded.
The mass number of an atom is the total count of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
The atomic number indicates the total number of protons within an atom's nucleus.
