Directions: Below is a blank representation of an atom. If you
compare your life to an atom, what will be the things/areas that you
will place in the center of your life? Complete the atomic model below
by placing the areas/things in your life either in the center or at the
sides of the circle. Suggested answers are written inside the small
circles below that serve as the subatomic particles.
Questions:
1. What is the element with an atomic number of 15?
_____________
2. How many protons does the atom of this element have?
_____________
3. How many electrons are there in an atom of aluminum (Al)?
_____________
4. Among the elements in the periodic table, which has the smallest
number of proton? _____________
NUCLEUS
center of an atom
where protons and neutron are
packed together
But how does the nucleus of an atom
of one element differ from the
nucleus of an atom of another
element?
Atomic Number
number of protons in the nucleus
Atomic Mass/Weight
indicates the size of an atom
the sum of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons
What are neutral atoms?
single atom is said to be electrically neutral if its number of
electrons (e-) is equal to the number of protons (p+).

atom atomic structure
Remember these:
Mass number (A) = # of protons (p+) + # of neutrons (n0)
Atomic Number (Z) = # of protons (p+) = # of electrons (e-)
# of neutron (n0) = mass number (A) – # of protons (p+)
11
5
B
Solution:
Mass number (A) = 11 and Atomic number (Z) = 5
# of proton =
# of electron =
# of neutron =

All atoms of an element contain the same number
of protons in their nuclei.
The number of protons in an atom of a given
element is referred as atomic number, designated
as Z.
The number of protons must be equal to the
number of electrons in an electrically neutral
atom.
However, when the number of protons and
electrons is not equal, ions are formed.
Joseph John Thomson
discovered that atoms have
negatively-charged particles,
which he called electrons. This
led him to propose a new model
for the atom, which he called the
plum pudding model.
Joseph John Thomson
Thomson proposed that the negatively-
charged electrons were embedded in a
cloud of positive charge
