Module 3.2 - Week 6 - Atoms Inside and Out
Let us review what you learned in your previous lesson. Use the terms in the word
box to label the diagram of an atom.
7
Li +1 Atomic Number. = 3 Number of Proton = 3
3
Mass Number = 7 Number of Electron = 3-1 = 2
Part A. Fill up this table. Refer to the periodic table at the end of this module.
Part B. Give the atomic number, number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Use a periodic
table to help you fill in the chart below.
Let’s see if you can connect one statement to another. Do the activity below. Fill in
the blanks with the correct word that will complete the statement. Use the terms listed in the
box.
An atom is the smallest part of an element which still retains the (1.) properties of that
element. Atoms are made up of three basic particles, the proton, neutron and the (2.)
electron. Protons have a positive charge and are located in the (3.)nucleus of the atom. (4.)
Neutrons have no charge, and are also to be found in the nucleus. Electrons have a (5.)
negative charge and are found orbiting around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons have a
mass of (6.) one atomic mass unit (a.m.u.). Electrons have a much (7.) smaller mass than a
proton or neutron. The number of electrons in an atom of an element is equal to the number
of (8.) protons in the same atom.
The (9.) atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in an atom of that
element. The (10.) mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons
and neutrons in that atom. The number of neutrons is calculated by (11.) subtracting the
atomic number from the mass number.
Isotopes
● Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but that have a different
number of neutrons and therefore different mass number too.
PART II. For each of the following isotopes, write the number of protons, neutrons, and
electrons. Assume all atoms are neutral.
