Definition of atom
Atom is the smallest indivisible particles of an
element .
FUNDAMENTAL PARTICLES OF
AN
ATOM
• An atom consists of three fundamental particles as shown in the first
slide . They are
• Proton
• Neutron and
• Electron .
PROTON
• A proton is the positive charge in an atom it is located inside the
nuucleous of an atom and it has a mass of
NUETRON
• Nuetron is found inside the nueclous , it has no charge and it has the
same mass as proton
Electron
• Electron is found outside the nucleus , it has negative charge and a
negligible mass .
• The positive proton and the negative electon make an atom neutral
