atom structure

protons

protons are found in the nucleus as a positive charge

neutrons

are located in nucleus and have no charge

orbitals

are located around the atom, this is where the electrons are located around the atom.

isotopes

Protons are the same in same element isotopes. The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotopes

electron configuration

with an atom's structure, we can find the number of protons which allows us to find which element we are looking for. Then we can use this information to find out the electron configuration for an element depending on their placement.

electrons

Is located on the outer shells of an atom with a negative charge. Electrons are what helps to find the valence and electron configuration. It has almost no mass.

aufbau

an atom must fill up from the lowest bottom energy to highest level of energy into the orbitals

nucleus

it is located in the center of an atom

atom's mass

Depending of the structure of the atom and the number of protons and neutrons located in the atom. This help to find the atom's mass. A proton has the weight of 1 amu while neutrons is the same.

excited atom

when an atom is excited the electrons will move into higher orbitals.

S and P orbitals.

There are many orbitals but S and P are just ones that included in the atom structure.It is used to show the electron configuration.

matter

it is the smallest particle of matter. The atom structure is tiny

valence electrons

It is the outer shell electron on an atom.

atomic number

This can be determined by the number of protons located in a nucleus. This will help determine the element on the periodic table.

element

An element will help with the number of electrons, protons, and neutrons that are in an atom. The atom represents the element.
