Basic Atomic Structure Worksheet

The document provides information about basic atomic structure including: 1) The three main particles that make up an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons, with protons having a positive charge and electrons having a negative charge. 2) The number of protons determines the identity and element, and the number of electrons determines the electrical charge of a neutral atom. 3) The atomic number identifies the number of protons in an atom and its location on the periodic table.

Basic Atomic Structure Worksheet

Name: Trisha Marie N. Goles

1. The 3 particles of the atom are:

a. Protons

b. Electrons

c. Neutrons

Their respective charges are:

a. Positive Charge

b. Negative Charge

c. No Charge

2. The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s

Identity, and the number of electrons determines the Electrical Charge of the

element.

3. The atomic number tells you the number of Protons in one atom of an element. It

also tells you the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element. The atomic

number gives the “identity” of an element as well as its location on the periodic

table. No two different elements will have the same atomic number.

4. The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of an element’s naturally

occurring atom, or isotopes, taking into account the percentage of each isotope.

5. The atomic mass of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in the

nucleus of the atom.

from the atomic mass.

7. Give the symbol and the number of protons in one atom of:

Iron Fe, 26

Oxygen O, 8

Krypton Kr, 26

8. Give the symbol of and the number of electrons in a neutral atom of:

Uranium U,92

Boron B, 5

Chlorine Cl, 17

a. 26 electrons, 29 neutrons, 26 protons Iron

b. 53 protons, 74 neutrons and 53 protons Iodine

c. 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons Helium

d. 20 protons, 21 neutrons and 20 electrons Calcium
