What is an atom?
• Definition
– smallest particle of an element that retains properties of the
element
II. The Subatomic Particles

Composition of Nucleus

II. The Subatomic Particles
A. Protons (p+)
• Positively-charged (+1) subatomic
particle of nucleus
• Mass: 1.67 x 10-24 g or 1 amu (1840x more
massive than an electron!)
• Very high mass, but very tiny volume;
therefore extremely dense
• Discovered by Goldstein

II. The Subatomic Particles
B. Neutron (n0)
Neutral (0) subatomic particle
• ______
• Contained in the _______
nucleus
• Discovered by _________
Chadwick
• Mass: 1.67 x 10-24 g or 1 amu
(same as proton)

II. The Subatomic Particles
C. Electrons (e-)
• _________
Negatively- charged (-1) subatomic
particle (the charge is equal and
opposite to the charge of the proton)
Surrounding the nucleus
• __________
• Mass: 9.11 x 10-28 gram or 1/1840
amu (negligible compared to p+
and n0)
• Tiny mass but occupies the majority of
the volume of the atom

II. The Subatomic Particles
C. Electrons (e-)
• Each electron has an “electronic address”
• Each resides in a well defined energy level some
distance from the nucleus. The further from the
nucleus, the higher the energy level.
• Responsible for chemical bonding

Current Model of the Atom
• Spherically-shaped
• Small, dense positively-charged nucleus surrounded
by a cloud of negatively-charged electrons
• Most of the atom is empty space

III. Atomic Number and Mass Number
• Remember, an atom is the smallest particle of an element that
retains the identity of that element.
• When the number of protons (+) and the number of electrons (-)
are the same, the atom is neutral (has no net charge).
• An ion is a charged atom or group of atoms bonded together.

III. Atomic Number and Mass Number
1. Determine the number of protons in:
a. Fluorine 9
b. Magnesium 12
2. Identify the element:
a. 30 protons Zinc
b. 17 protons Chlorine
c. 11 p+ Sodium
d. 1 p+ Hydrogen

IV. The Subatomic Particles
B. Mass Number
Mass Number = p+ + n0
• Both neutrons and protons are
responsible for nearly all the atom’s
mass because electrons are so light
their mass is negligible.
