Subatomic Particles Worksheet

The document provides a detailed overview of the parts of the atom, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, along with their charges, locations, and masses. It explains how to determine the structure of elements using the periodic table, including calculating the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Additionally, it describes how to draw an atom using the Bohr model and includes a table for completing information about the first ten elements.

Parts of the Atom


*Fill in the following table about the parts of the atom. (AMU stands for atomic mass unit.)
PART OF THE ATOM ELECTRIC CHARGE LOCATION IN ATOM MASS (in AMU’s)
proton
neutron
electron

*Here’s how to predict the structure of any element on the periodic table. For example, look at carbon:

6 atomic number: This is the number of protons (also the number of electrons)
C chemical symbol: This is an abbreviation for the element.
carbon element name: This is the name of the element.
12.011 atomic mass (in AMU’s): This number (rounded off) tells you the number
of protons plus the number of neutrons. (Electrons are too small to be included.)

To find the number of protons, look at the atomic number:


Example for carbon: Atomic number: 6 Number of protons: 6
To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass:
Example for carbon: Atomic mass: 12 (rounded) Number of neutrons: 12 – 6 = 6
To find the number of electrons, look at the atomic number:
Example for carbon: Atomic number: 6 Number of electrons: 6

*Complete the table for the elements with atomic numbers 1-10.

*Here’s how to draw an atom of any element using the Bohr model of the atom:

Protons and neutrons go in the nucleus (center).


Electrons go in energy levels of the electron cloud.
The first energy level only holds up to 2 electrons.
The second energy level holds up to 8 electrons.
The third energy level holds up to 18 electrons. P=
N=
Example for carbon: 6 electrons total
First 2 electrons in the 1st energy level
Next 4 electrons in the 2nd energy level

The electrons in the outermost energy level are called valence electrons (V.E.)
Example for carbon: 2nd energy level is the outermost energy level used by carbon
Carbon has 4 valence electrons

*Draw a picture of an atom for each of the first ten elements and write the number of valence electrons.

1. hydrogen V.E._____ 2. helium V.E._____ 3. lithium V.E._____

4. beryllium V.E._____ 5. boron V.E._____ 6. carbon V.E._____

7. nitrogen V.E._____ 8. oxygen V.E._____

9. fluorine V.E._____ 10. neon V.E._____
