    1. The document defines key terms related to atoms including protons, neutrons, atomic mass units, atomic number, isotopes, radioactive isotopes, ions, mass number, and atomic mass. 2. It explains that protons are positively charged particles in the nucleus, neutrons have no charge, and protons and neutrons together make up most of an atom's mass. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. 3. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different masses but sharing most chemical and physical properties. Radioactive isotopes are unstable and decay over time, emitting particles and energy.

    The Atom Quiz

    1. Protons- are positively charged particles in the nucleus.


    2. Atomic mass unit- (amu). The SI unit used to express the masses of
    particles in atoms. Each proton has a mass of about 1 amu.
    3. Neutrons- are the particles of the nucleus that have no electrical charge.
    Neutrons are a little more massive than protons are. But the difference in
    mass is so small that the mass of a neutron can be thought of as 1 amu.
    Protons and neutrons are the most massive particles in an
    atom. But the volume of the nucleus is very small. So, the
    nucleus is very dense. There are more than 110 different
    elements. The atoms of each of these elements are different
    from the atoms of all other elements.
    4. Atomic number- The number of protons in the nucleus of
    an atom. All atoms of an element have the same atomic
    number.

    5. Isotope- are atoms that have the same number of protons but have different
    numbers of neutrons. Atoms that are isotopes of each other are always the
    same element, because isotopes always have the same number of protons.
    They have different numbers of neutrons, however, which gives them different
    masses.
    The are small number of isotopes for each element in nature.

    Radioactive isotope- An unstable atom is an atom with a nucleus that will


    change over time. Radioactive atoms spontaneously fall apart after a
    certain amount of time. As they do, they give off smaller particles, as well
    as energy.

    Uses:
    Bones Scan
    The tritium (isotopes) content of ground water is used to discover
    the source of the water. For example in municipal water is used to
    discover the source of the water or the source of the steam from a
    volcano.

    Isotopes of an element share most of the same chemical and physical properties.
    Different isotopes of an element even behave the same in chemical changes in
    your body.
    6. Ion- same protons different electrons
    Loses electrons becomes positive
    Loses electrons becomes negative
    7. Mass number- is the average of all naturally occurring isotopes of that
    element.
    8. Atomic mass- of an element is the weighted average of the masses of all the
    naturally occurring isotopes of that element.
    Forces that affect particles in the atom:
    1. Electromagnetic Force
    a) + And
    b) Opposites attract
    c) Holds electrons around the nucleus

    2. Gravitational Force
    a) Pulls objects towards one another
    b) Has almost no affect within atoms
    because their so small.

    3. Strong Force
    a) Holds the nucleus together
    b) Helps protons stay together
    the nucleus
    c) Has no affect on electrons, just the

    4. Weak Force
    a) Important radioactivity
    b) Helps the neutron when changing into
    or electrons

    inside
    nucleus

    protons
