Atomic structure

Atomic structure

1. Sub-Atomic Particles

   • Neutron
     • No charge
     • Mass of 1
     • Can be changed to make different isotopes
     • Stored in the Nucleus
   • Proton
     • Defines the atom - a different amount of Protons = a different atom
     • Mass of 1
     • Charge of +1
     • Stored in the Nucleus
   • Electron
     • Charge of +1
     • Mass of 1/2000
     • Stored in the Electron Shells
     • Can be changed to make different ions

2. Radius of 1*10^-10m

3. Mostly empty space - held together by the Strong Nuclear Force
