Electrons : negatively charges particles inatoms
Found around the nucleus in electron clouds
Very small compared to neutrons & protons
It takes ~1,800 electrons = 1 proton

What makes atoms different from each other?
Atoms do not have the same number of
protons, electrons, and neutrons
Build an atom to see:◦ 1 proton, 1 electron, 0 neutrons = Hydrogen◦
2 protons, 2 neutrons, 2 electrons = Helium

The number of protons = atomic number
All atoms of an element have the sameatomic number
Hydrogen: atomic number 1, protons 1Carbon: atomic number 6, protons 6

An atom that has the same number of protons ( or the same atomic number ) asother atoms of the same element do but thathas a different number of neutrons ( differentatomic mass )
Ex: Isotopes of Hydrogen◦
1 proton, 1 electron◦ 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron

Each element has a limited number of isotopes that are found in nature
Some are unstable (nucleus changes overtime) = radioactive
Isotopes of the same element share similar
properties◦ Ex: Oxygen isotopes: 8,9, or 10 neutrons – all are
colorless, odorless gases at room temp.

Identified by its mass number (sum of protons & neutrons in an atom)
Why aren’t electrons included in mass #?
Ex: Boron isotope – Fig. 5 pg. 322
◦ Mass number = protons + neutrons

Write the name of the element followed by ahyphen and the mass number
Ex: Hydrogen-1 : 1 proton, no neutronHydrogen-2 : 1 proton, 1 neutron
Ex: Carbon-12 : mass number 12, atomic
number 6, neutrons 6◦ Mass number - # of protons = # of neutrons

What are the forces acting between theseparticles in an atom?
4 main forces: give atoms their structure &properties◦
◦
◦ : nucleus stays together because of it◦ : important in radioactive atoms
