Atomic Theory
 An atom is an incredibly small
building block of matter.

 Atoms are so small that we cannot see


them, even with the best microscopes in
the world.
But, having said that ………

ATOMS ARE EVERYWHERE

Name 3 substances that are made of atoms


How Many Atoms?
Roughly how many atoms do you think there are
in a teaspoon of sulfur (about 5g)?

100000 000000 000000 000000


(or about 1023)

• There are over 100 different types of atoms.


• Each one forms a different chemical element.
• These elements are listed in the periodic table.
Atoms can now be “seen”
using special technology

Atoms are made from sub-atomic particles

1. Protons (+ electric charge), p


2. Electrons (– electric charge), e
3. Neutrons (no charge), n

Protons and neutrons have about the same mass.


Electrons have about 2000 times less mass than protons.
Electrical Forces produce an attraction between the
electrons and the protons in the nucleus. This is because
they are oppositely charged.
