Question

Helppp !! 1. Describe the structure of an atom and how to read an element box using at least
6-7 complete sentences. Make sure to include the following:
The location, electrical charge and atomic mass units of each of the
subatomic particles (electrons, neutrons and protons)
• Electrical charge of the nucleus
How do you calculate the number of electrons, neutrons and protons?
.

Answer 1

An atom contains these particles, protons neutrons and electrons. At the center of an atom there is something called the nucleus, this contains the protons and which are positively charged and the neutrons which have no charge. In the electron shells which is outside the nucleus region of the atom, there are electrons which have a negative charge. To find the atomic mass of an atom you want to add the protons and neutrons. To calculate the atomic number you want to count the number of protons the atom has.
