Name:____________________________ Date:______________________________ Unit 2 Atomic Structure – Ions Guided Notes Pd:________ Atoms can lose or gain electrons to become Ions! Key Vocabulary _______________: atom with a plus or a minus charge. Atom with a different number of protons and electrons. _______________: an atom with a positive charge. Atom with more protons (+) than electrons (-) • Cats have paws….Cations are pawsitive… ______________: an atom with a negative charge. Atom with more electrons (-) than protons (+) • A negative ion, looks like onion (make you cry… is negative) Charge on this Atom?______________ or ____________ Charge on this Atom?______________ Charge on this Atom?______________ Na+ Positive one charge means it has one __________electron (negative particle) than proton. Mg2+ Two ____________electrons than protons. F1- One ___________ electron than protons. N3- Three __________ electron than protons. Atoms lose or gain ELECTRONS! PROTON NUMBER ___________ CHANGES! Justification? Practice In Summary # of Protons Look at the Atomic Number 1. Round the Average Atomic Mass to a Whole Number # of Neutrons To determine 2. Subtract the Atomic Number FROM the rounded Atomic Mass 3. # of Neutrons = Atomic Mass-Atomic Number 1. In a Neutral Atom, Look at the Atomic Number # of Electrons a. If Positive Charge [ Atomic Number- Charge] 2. In an Ion b. If Negatively Charged Charge on Atom # protons #electrons = Charge [ Atomic Number + Charge] Name:____________________________ Date:______________________________ Isotope and Ion Classwork Pd:________ 1. State the number of p+, n, and e- that are present in the following atoms. p+ en 7 a. Li 3 b. 199 Hg 80 c. 112 Cd 48 59 Co 27 2. State the number of p+, n, and e- that are present in the following atoms. p+ n a. Sodium - 23 d. b. e- Barium - 137 c. Manganese - 55 d. Chlorine - 37 3. Write the nuclear symbol ( 𝐴𝑍𝑋) for each of the following isotopes. Use the periodic table to determine the correct symbol to use instead of “X”. a. Chromium with an atomic mass of 54: _____________ b. Silver with a total of 157 subatomic particles: _____________ c. Calcium with 42 nucleons (particles in the nucleus): _____________ d. Sulfur with 18 neutrons: _____________ 4. Circle the required symbol(s) that answer each question. (“X” is just a general symbol.) 16 15 15 14 a. have the same atomic mass 8 8 7 7 X X X X b. have the same atomic number 32 16 X 30 16 X 32 15 X 35 17 X c. isotopes of the same element 18 9 X 18 8 X 18 7 X 20 9 X d. same number of neutrons 15 7 X 16 8 X 18 10 X 14 6 X 5. For each of the following ions, indicate the total number of protons and electrons in the ion. Ion Number of Protons Number of Electrons Co+2 Co+3 Cl-1 K+1 S-2 Sr+2 Al+3 P-3 6. Fill in the following chart Element/Ion 1 1 1 1 Number of Protons Number of Neutrons Number of Electrons Mass Number 28 66 H H+ 12 6 7 3 C Li Cl- 35 17 39 19 24 12 Atomic Number K Mg 2+ 75 33 108 47 As Ag + 32 16 S2- 30 76 114 7. How can you tell if an atom has a negative charge? 8. How can you tell if an atom has a positive charge? 9. Define an isotope. 10. What would happen if the number of protons were to change in an atom?
