Atomic Structure Worksheet KEY

This document provides a worksheet with questions about atomic structure. It defines the three main subatomic particles as protons, neutrons, and electrons and their respective charges. It explains that the atomic number identifies an element based on its number of protons and also determines the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. By subtracting the number of protons from the mass number, you can calculate the number of neutrons. Several questions then ask the student to identify the number of protons, neutrons, or electrons for given elements or to name elements based on given particle numbers.
