Atoms, Isotopes, and Bohr! What mak es up an atom? 1. An atom i s m ade up of subatom ic ____________________ (protons, neutrons, and electrons.) Protons and neutrons are m ade up of Quark s (but m ore on that later..) 2. An elem ent i s m ade up of the sam e type of ____________. ← Label the parts of the atom in the image to th e left What does an atom really look li k e? - An a tom h as a very den s e cen ter ca lled a n u cleu s w h ere th e p roton s a n d n eu tron s a re located. Th e electron clou d is th e s p ace a rou n d th e n u cleu s . Th e dots s h ow w h ere a n electron is __________________ to be. Parts of the atom Charge M ass (am u) Proton Neutron Electron What holds an atom together? - Beca u s e p roton s h a ve a pos itive ch a rge a n d electron s h a ve a n ega tive ch a rge, th ey a re attracted to ea ch oth er beca u s e of a n electrom a gn etic force (op pos ite ch a rges a ttract, ______________ ch a rges rep el).

What does the atom i c num ber tell you? 2. How do you fi nd the num ber of neutrons? Isotopes - - - An i sotope i s an atom that has the __________ num ber of ____________ , but a _______________ num ber of __________________ . You can thi nk of i sotopes li k e atom s havi ng a _______________ or _______________. It i s the sam e elem ent, just a different versi on of it. The elem ent doesn’t change because they have the sam e atom i c _______________ . How can you tell one isotope from another? - Although i sotopes share m ost of the sam e physi cal and chem i cal properti es, i sotopes of the sam e elem ent have _____________________________________________. - Atom ic M ass = ____________________ + ______________________ - Protons and neutrons have a m ass of about _______________ atom ic m ass uni t (am u) - Electrons have _______________ m ass that they are consi dered to be 0 (zero) am u. Atomic M ass - The total m ass of one atom of an elem ent Because elem ents have i sotopes, the atom ic m ass li sted on the peri odi c table i s a _______________ of all the naturally occurri ng _______________ of an elem ent. Atomic M ass and Isotopes - There i s a lot m ore Hydrogen-1 than Hydrogen-2, so Hydrogen-1 i s w ei ghted m ore heavi ly w hen calculati ng the atom ic m ass of hydrogen Isot opes of Car bon M ass: ________ M ass: ________ Mass: ________
