    The document summarizes key concepts about atomic structure: Atoms are the smallest units that make up elements. Atoms consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons and contains most of an atom's mass. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus. Neutrons are uncharged particles found in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that surround the atom's nucleus in shells. Ions are atoms or collections of atoms with a net positive or negative charge due to gaining or losing electrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.

    ATOMS AND ATOMIC

    STRUCTURE
    Atom Nucleus Proton Neutron Electron
    WHAT IS AN ATOM?

    oThe smallest unit of


    an element.

    oConsists of a central
    nucleus surrounded by
    one or more electrons.
    WHAT IS THE NUCLEUS?

    oThe central part of an


    atom.
    oComposed of protons
    and neutrons.
    oContains most of an
    atom's mass.
    WHAT IS A PROTON?

    oPositively charged
    particle.

    oFound within an
    atomic nucleus.
    WHAT IS A NEUTRON?

    o Uncharged particle.

    oFound within an
    atomic nucleus.
    WHAT IS AN ELECTRON?

    oNegatively charged
    particle.

    oLocated in shells
    that surround an
    atom's nucleus.
    What Is the Difference Between an
    Atom and an Ion?
    • An atom can be an ion, but not all ions are atoms. The
    difference between an atom and an ion has to do with net
    electrical charge.
    • An ion is a particle or collection of particles with a net
    positive or negative charge.
    • An atom is the basic unit of an element. The identity of
    an element is determined by the number of positively
    charged protons in the atom’s nucleus. A stable atom
    contains the same number of electrons as protons and no
    net charge.
    When electrons are added or removed, the stable atom
    becomes an ion. If electrons are removed, the net charge of
    the ion will be positive and known as a cation. When
    electrons are added, the net charge of the ion becomes
    negative and known as an anion.
    Ions can also be collections of atoms. Here are a
    few examples:

    Ammonium ion: NH4+ – This ion contains one nitrogen and


    four hydrogen atoms with a net charge of +1.

    Sulfate ion: SO42- This ion contains one sulfur atom and four
    oxygen atoms with a net charge of -2.

    Nitrite ion: NO2– This ion contains one nitrogen atom and two
    oxygens for a net charge of -1.
    Isotopes
    • Atoms with the same number of protons but
    different numbers of neutrons
    • Another way to say – atoms of the same
    element with different numbers of neutrons
    • An elements mass number is the number of
    protons plus the number of neutrons
    • REVIEW: to determine the number of
    neutrons subtract the atomic number from the
    mass number
    • Mass # – atomic # = # of neutrons
    NOTE: Unlike on the periodic
    table where the atomic number
    is at the top of the box and the
    average atomic mass is at the
    bottom in isotopic symbols the
    mass number is at the top and
    the atomic number is at the
    bottom.

    If X is Hydrogen and its mass number


    is 2 then the isotopic symbol would be
    2H
    If the atom has a charge the charge is written to the upper right
    side of the symbol. If the charge is either negative or positive 1
    the 1 is not written but understood to be 1.
