Atomic Structure Worksheet Name:

Period:

1. Name the three particles of the atom and their respective charges are:
a.
b.
c.

2. The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s

, and the number of electrons determines
of an element.

3. The atomic number tells you the number of in one atom of

an element. It also tells you the number of in a neutral atom of
that element. The atomic number gives the “identity “of an element as well as its
location on the Periodic Table. No two different elements will have the
atomic number.

4. The of an element is the average mass of an element’s

naturally occurring atoms, or isotopes, taking into account the
of each isotope.

5. The of an element is the total number of protons and

neutrons in the of the atom.

6. The mass number is used to calculate the number of in one

atom of an element. In order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the
from the .

7. Give the symbol and number of protons in one atom of:

Lithium Bromine
Iron Copper
Oxygen Mercury
Arsenic Helium
8. Give the symbol and number of electrons in a neutral atom of:
Uranium Chlorine
Boron Iodine
Antimony Argon

9. Give the isotope symbol and number of neutrons in one atom of the following elements.
Show your calculations.

Barium – 138 Sulfur – 32

Carbon – 12 Hydrogen – 1
Fluorine – 19 Magnesium – 24
Silicon - 28 Mercury – 202
10. Name the element which has the following numbers of particles. Be specific. (Include
charges and mass numbers where possible.)

26 electrons, 29 neutrons, 26 protons

53 protons, 74 neutrons
2 electrons (neutral atom)
20 protons
86 electrons, 125 neutrons, 82 protons (charged atom)
0 neutrons

11. If you know ONLY the following information can you always determine what the
element is? (Yes/No).
number of protons
number of neutrons
number of electrons in a neutral atom
number of electrons
Name:

On the Inside
Part l: Label the parts of this atom (nucleus, protons, electrons, neutrons)

Part 2: Answer these:

1. The subatomic particle with no electrical charge is the

2. The subatomic particle with a positive charge is the

3. The subatomic particle with a negative charge is the

4. There are the same number of these two particles in an atom

5. The atomic number is the same as the number of

6. Where is most of the mass of an atom located?

7. Which particles account for the mass of the atom? (Atomic mass or mass number)

8.Complete the following table

Symbol Atomic Number Number of Number of Number of Mass
Protons Neutrons Electrons

9. The atomic number is the number of in one atom of an element. It is also the
number of in a neutral atom of that element. The atomic number gives the "identity
"of an element.
No two different elements will have the __________atomic number.

10. The of an element is the average mass of an element 's

naturally occurring atoms, or isotopes, considering each isotope.
