Atomic Structure: Parts of an Atom

Discover the building blocks of matter! Learn about protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms.

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. They arealso the basic unit of a chemical element foundon the Periodic Table. Each atom contains subatomic particles that include protons, neutrons and electrons.Directions: Watch the video “Atomic Structure And Electrons - Structure Of An Atom - What Are Atoms - Neutrons Protons Electrons”. Atomic Structure videoUsing the list below, sort the characteristics of protons, neutrons, or electrons under the correct headings below. protons included in the atom's mass located inside the nucleus of the atom positively charged subatomic particle neutrons is included in the atom's mass found in the nucleus of the atom neutrally charged subatomic particle (no charge) electrons does not contribute much to the atom's mass located in the electron cloud of the atom negatively charged subatomic particle
