LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 3.4
INTRODUCTION
This learning activity sheet will enable you to describe the structure of
atoms, including the masses, electrical charges, and locations of protons, neutrons and
electrons. This would help you understand that protons determine an element’s identity.
After completing the activities in this material, you should be able to compute for the number
of protons, neutrons and electrons in a particular atom. To get you started, prepare yourself
to turn the atoms inside out!
LEARNING COMPETENCY
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in a particular
atom. (S8MT-IIIe-f-10)
1. Describe the basic parts of an atom,

2. Analyze the relationship of the number of protons, electrons, and
neutrons in an atom
3. Make a diagram of an atom with correct number of protons, electrons
and neutrons in their proper location.
ACTIVITIES
Activity 1 Building Blocks

In previous lesson, you have known that materials have particles arranged in
certain ways. Complete the table below by providing appropriate answers.
The first row was given as example.
Material Phase Molecular Arrangement
Melting
Ice
(solid to liquid)
___________________
(liquid to solid)
____________________
(solid to gas)
Activity 2 Put Me into Place!
As guided by the song “Ang Atom”, locate the proper position in an atom of the underlined
subatomic particles by writing its name in proper box as you sing the song to the tune of
May Pulis.

Activity 2 Fill Me In
Using the terms at the right, identify each of the parts in the box. You may refer to the legend
in the periodic table of elements found at the end of this activity sheet.

Activity 3 Compare Me!
Analyze the table and answer the guide questions briefly. You may use the periodic
table of elements found at the end of this activity sheet for reference
Row Element Symbol Atomic Mass Number Number Number

5 Chlorine 17Cl37 17 37 17 17 20
6 Phosphorus 15P31 15 31 15 15 16
A. Guide Questions:
1. Why are columns for Atomic Number and Number of Protons the same for each element?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Why are number of Protons and number of Electrons the same in each element?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Elements in rows 1 and 2 are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same number of
_____________ but different _________________.
4. Other than Sodium in rows 1 and 2, which rows show another isotope?
________________________
B. Using the mathematical symbols [ =, +, - ] and the terms in the box, complete the
equations below showing the relationship of the numbers in the table
Atomic Number = the number of _____________
Mass Number = the number of _____________ + the number of ______________
Number of neutrons = _____________________ - ______________________
Number of electrons _____ Number of protons
Electrons Protons
Neutrons Mass Number
Atomic Number
In the activities above, you have placed the sub-atomic particles in their
proper location inside the atom. Atoms, of which all objects are made,
contain particles with positive (proton) and negative (electron) charges.
In their most stable state they are neutral having an equal number. Among
these subatomic particles, the number of protons gives the identity of an
element. All atoms of an element contain the same number of protons in their
nuclei known as the element’s atomic number. Notice that no two elements have the same
atomic number with regards to the periodic table. The mass of an atom of a particular
element is the average of the mass numbers of the naturally occurring isotopes of the
element multiplied with their respective abundance. You will not compute for atomic mass.
However, you have to know, at least, where to find it in the periodic table.
Call My Number!
A. Complete the table below.
Element Name Symbol # of p+ # of e- # of n0

B. Complete the diagram of an atom of the element Helium, 2 He 4. Use the

following legend to indicate the correct number of protons, electrons, and neutrons
in their proper location.
