Proton Neutron Electron What are the 3 major parts of an atom?
Describe Proton • Positive Charge • Mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu) • Found in the nucleus • Equal to the atomic Number • Determines the element • Remember PP (Protons are positive)
Describe Neutron • No charge • Mass of 1 amu • Found in the nucleus • Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass number • To get the number of neutrons, mass number – atomic number • Remember NN (No charge on Neutrons)
Describe Electron • Negatively charged • No mass • Found in the electron cloud • In a neutral atom = equal to the number of protons
The nucleus is the central part of an atom. It is composed of protons and neutrons. The nucleus contains most of an atom's mass. It was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1911. Describe Nucleus

Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons Describe Isotope

Model of the atom pictures the electrons moving around the nucleus in a region called an electron cloud. The electron cloud is a cloud of varying density surrounding the nucleus. The varying density shows where an electron is more or less likely to be. Atoms with electrons in higher energy levels have additional electron clouds of different shapes that also show where those electrons are likely to be. What is the Electron Cloud Model?
