THE PRESENTATION
Atoms (Part 2):
 All matter is made up of atoms
 The different types of atoms are called elements
Atoms are made of 3 sub-atomic particles…
…protons (are the blue circles)
…neutrons (are the green circles)
…electrons (are the orange circles)
Nucleus
Note: Protons and neutrons are found in the
center area called the nucleus
Here is a model of
Note: In atoms the number of protons and one lithium atom
electrons are always the same (3 in this case)

Protons: positive charge, found in the nucleus of atoms
 The number of protons is the atomic number (3 in this case)
Note: In atoms the number of protons & electrons are the same
Neutrons: no charge, also found in the nucleus of atoms
Electrons: negative charge, found in electron shells in the
electron cloud

Atomic Mass
 Atoms are very small particles of matter, and everything that is
made of matter has mass
 Most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus
• About 99.9% of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus
Nuclear Particles
 The two particles in the nucleus, protons and neutrons, make up
99.9 % of the mass of the atom

Atoms
 Electrons are located in the electron cloud in areas
called electron shells (see cloud in green area below)
 This atom has 2 electron shells. These can also be
called electron
