Study Notes
Subatomic Particles
- Subatomic particles are the fundamental components that form an atom.
PEN Definition
- PEN refers to the three main types of subatomic particles: Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons.
APE MAN Components
- APE MAN is an acronym used to remember key atomic properties:
- A represents Atomic Number, which is equal to the number of Protons in an atom (P).
- P refers to Protons, which are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
- E stands for Electrons, which are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus.
- M signifies Mass Number, calculated by summing the number of Protons (P) and Neutrons (N).
- N denotes Neutrons, which are neutral particles located within the nucleus.
Round Numbers in APE MAN
- When dealing with values in APE MAN, always round to the nearest whole number for simplicity and accuracy.
