Atoms • AMU = Atomic Mass Unit. It is the size of a proton. It takes 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 protons to make 1 gram. • Atoms are electrically neutral. This is because an atom has the same number of protons (positive charges) as electrons (negative charges)
Chemical Symbol • An abbreviation that represents the name of an element • The chemical symbol can contain 1 or 2 letters. The first letter is always capitalized. The second letter is lower cased. • Ex.: • Hydrogen = H • Silicon - Si
Atomic Number • Remember: Make an A+, you’re #1! • Atomic number is the number of protons in an element. It identifies the element. • If you change the number of protons, you change the element.
Mass Number • Mass Number- Equal to the number of protons + the number of neutrons in an atom. MASS NUMBER = # PROTONS + # NEUTRONS • We can use the mass number to find the number of neutrons an element has. • To find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number from the mass number. # NEUTRONS = MASS NUMBER - ATOMIC NUMBER
Atomic Mass • Atomic Mass: The average mass of all known isotopes of an element. This is found on the periodic table. • Isotopes are the elements that have atoms with different numbers of neutrons, so a different mass number
Isotopes Mass Number 2 1 Chemical Symbol H Atomic Number Ex.: Hydrogen Isotopes 1 1 3 1 H H H 2 1 Isotope Name Protium Deuterium Tritium (Hydrogen-1) (Hydrogen-2) (Hydrogen-3) Mass Number *Because the mass number is different for each isotope of hydrogen, the number of neutrons in each atom is different. The number of protons, however, is the same.

Atoms and APEMAN • APEMAN = A way to remember all parts of an atom A = Atomic Number P = Protons E = Electrons M = Mass Number -A = Atomic Number N = Neutrons
Atoms and APEMAN • Example: Sodium-23 A = Atomic Number 11 P = Protons 11 E = Electrons 11 M = Mass Number 23 -A = Atomic Number -11 N = Neutrons 12
