Size of the atom!
Lecture 1.1 – Introduction to the Atom
Today’s Learning Target
• LT 1.1 – I can identify the size, location, and
mass of the three subatomic particles found
in the atom.
Size of the Atom
• The atom has a
diameter between
0.1 – 0.5 nm
• Point of reference: A
basketball has a
diameter of
234,500,000 nm
Three Types of Subatomic Particles
• All atoms contain the
following subatomic
particles:
1. Protons
2. Neutrons
3. Electrons
Protons
• Protons are found in the
nucleus of an atom.
• The nucleus is located in
the center of the atom.
• Protons have a positive
charge. We say that
their charge is +1
Neutrons
• Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
• Neutrons do not have a charge. They are
neutral
James
Chadwick
discovered the
neutron in
1932!
Mass of Protons and Neutrons
• Protons and neutrons have the same mass.
• Each subatomic particle has a mass of 1 amu.
– amu = atomic mass unit
Electrons
• Electrons are found in the
electron cloud.
• The electron cloud surrounds the
nucleus of an atom.
• Electrons have a -1 charge
Mass of Electrons
• Electrons have a mass that is 0.00054 amu.
• Electrons do not contribute to the weight of an
atom.
Neutral
• Like the car gear, like water, like switzerland!
To be neutral, the positives and
negatives must cancel out!
Neutral Tweet!
Equal nmbr of protons and electrons
#Chemswag #Learning

The resulting charge is zero!
