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.
