PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Atomic Structure
What are the 3 major parts of an
atom?
• Proton
• Neutron
• Electron
Diagram showing the location of
each part of the atom.
Draw a Diagram of an Atom
PROTON
• Protons are positively charged particles
found in the atomic nucleus. Protons were
discovered by Ernest Rutherford..
• Experiments done in the late 1960's and
early 1970's showed that protons are
made from other particles called quarks.
Protons are made from two 'up' quarks
and one 'down' quark.
NEUTRON
• Neutrons are uncharged particles found in
the atomic nucleus. Neutrons were
discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
• Experiments done in the late 1960's and
early 1970's showed that neutrons are
made from other particles called quarks.
Neutrons are made from one 'up' quark
and two 'down' quarks.
ELECTRON
Electrons are negatively charged particles
that surround the atom's nucleus.
Electrons were discovered by J. J.
Thomson in 1897.
Electrons determine properties of the atom.
Chemical reactions involve sharing or
exchanging electrons.
NUCLEUS
The nucleus is the central part of an atom. It
is composed of protons and neutrons.
The nucleus contains most of an atom's
mass.
It was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in
1911.
