Essential Question: What are the characteristics and locations of protons,

neutrons and electrons in an atom?

Topic: Atomic Structure Essential Question: What are the characteristics and locations of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom?

AtomThe tiny particles that make up the 3 states of matter

They are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons

Topic: Atomic Structure Essential Question: What are the characteristics and locations of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom?

Proton

• Have a positive (+) charge and are located inside the nucleus

• Has the same mass as a neutron

PROTON

Topic: Atomic Structure Essential Question: What are the characteristics and locations of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom?

Neutron

• Have NO charge and are located inside the nucleus

• Has the same mass as a proton

NEUTRON

Topic: Atomic Structure Essential Question: What are the characteristics and locations of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom?

Nucleus• Protons and Neutrons make up the

nucleus

• Most of the mass is located in the nucleus

Nucleus

Topic: Atomic Structure Essential Question: What are the characteristics and locations of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom?

Electron Have a negative (-) charge and are

located in orbitals outside the nucleus

They are much smaller than protons and neutrons

It would take 1836 electrons to make up the mass of a proton/neutron

ELECTRON
