ATOMS
To be able to understand a little more about
an ATOM think of a Drop of Water
Scientists say in 1 drop of water, there are 6
sextillion atoms- 6x10^21
(6000000000000000000000)
Do Now
Please list the 4 parts that make up an atom
Objective: SWBAT- Understand the structure of
an Atom
Atoms are
Neutrons
Are found in the nucleus
of an atom
Neutrons have no
charge, They are
Neutral
The number of Neutrons
will vary
Dont be tricked its not
a negative charge, think
Neutron=Neutral
Protons
They are also found
in the Nucleus of an
atom
Protons have a
THINK
Proton=Positive
Electrons

An atom refresher
An atom has three
parts:
Proton = positive
Neutron = no charge
Electron = negative

Atom Models
There are two models of the atoms we will see
in class.
Bohr Model

Structure is a
bit diferent
from the Bohr
model.
It only shows
the element
symbol and its
outer most
electron shell.

How to
1. Write the
symbol.
2. Start on the
right hand
side,
working your
way
clockwise
around the
symbol.
3. Try Lithium
