Nucleus, Atomic Orbitals, Sophia Butcher - Coggle Diagram
Nucleus
Protons
Positive Charge
Ions
Negative Charge
Electrons
Electrons barely have any weight to them
When there are more protons or electrons there will be a charge. This is called an ion
Cation: An ion with a positive charge
Anion: An ion with a negative charge
A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons
The atomic number represents how many protons there are
Attract each other
Neutrons
Neutral Charge
To find the weight of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number
The space that surrounds the nucleus is the electron cloud
Electrons will be found in the electron cloud
valence electrons
Mass Number is the weight of the atom
The majority of the weight is in the nucleus
The mass number is an weighted average
Atom
Isotopes
Each element has isotopes
An element has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
Isotopes have different masses
The nucleus holds the protons and neutrons
Center of the atom
The electron cloud surrounds the nucleus
Atomic Orbitals
Atomic Orbitals take up empty space
