Multiple Choice
What makes up most of the mass of an atom?
electron cloud
empty space
nucleus

Atomic Number
each element has its own atomic number that never changes
each element has a specific number of protons
Thorium's atomic number is 90, so ALL Thorium atoms will have 90 protons
7
Multiple Choice
What does atomic number tell us?
number of protons
number of neutrons
number of protons + neutrons
number of protons + electrons
8

Mass Number
the mass number of the previous example is 12
mass number is calculated by ADDING the number of protons and neutrons

Calculating the number of neutrons
find the MASS number of the atom; mass number includes the number of protons and neutrons
find the ATOMIC number of the atom; atomic number is only the number of protons
MASS number - ATOMIC number = number of neutrons
(protons and neutrons) - protons = neutrons
15
Multiple Choice
An atom with 18 protons has a mass number of 40. How many neutrons are in the nucleus?
18
40
58
22
16
8 protons means atomic number = 8
16 - 8 = 8 neutrons
17
Finding the number of electrons
REMEMBER: the overall charge of the atom is NEUTRAL
for this to be true, protons (+) and electrons (-) have to cancel each other out
therefore, 8 protons = 8 electrons
