halogen? D
LO: Toatom
give a detailed explanation of atomic
structure.
• State the charge and relative mass of protons
neutrons and electrons (3)
• Describe what the atomic number and the mass
number of an atom represent (4)
• Discuss why overall atoms have no net charge (5)
• Analyse the structure of the atom, and use your
findings to produce a model (6)
RECAP - CURRENT ATOMIC
THEORY
The atom has a neutral charge, and is a spherical entity
composed of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by
one or more negatively charged electrons.
THE MASS OF AN ATOM
The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus.
Protons and neutrons have the same mass = 1
Electrons have no mass and are not in the nucleus.
So small we say 0
Which element has an atomic number of 8?
ATOMIC NUMBER Oxygen
1s2, 2s6
LEARNING CHECKPOINT 10 minutes
End
• Which element would you
associate with the devil?
Choose from C, O or N.
• Think of the number of
protons, electron and neutrons
C = 6, 6 and 6
N = 7, 7 and 7
O = 8, 8 and 8

Task
In this activity you will use the idea of the ‘atomic’ model of an atom to
produce a model of a particular element. You will then evaluate your model
and highlight its good points and its limitations.

WORKSHEET ANSWERS
2. Example using Li Has an atomic number of 3 so 3 protons
and 3 electrons. Has a mass number of 7
so 7-3 = 4 neutrons
3. Describe where each type of particle is found in the atom
Protons and neutrons in nucleus, electrons orbiting on outside
