What are atoms?
The atom is the smallest possible particle of an element.
- positive protons
- all atoms of a given element have the same unique number of protons
- neutral neutrons
- neutrons cluster with protons in atomic nuclei, contributing to the mass number of the nucleous
- negative electrons
- They orbit the nucleus within specific regions called electron shells
- Shells at increasing distances from the nucleus contain electrons with increasing amounts of energy
- When the outer shell of the atom is full then the atom is most stable
- Shells at increasing distances from the nucleus contain electrons with increasing amounts of energy
- They orbit the nucleus within specific regions called electron shells
- positive protons
Istopes
- they are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
