Atom or Ion? You are going to be given different representations of atoms or ions- Bohr diagrams, periodic table tile, and chemical symbols. This is a CHALLENGE! You will need to pull together everything you have learned so far on the atom and the ion!*Please have your periodic table handy!Things to think about:- Which subatomic particle identifies the atom?- What makes an atom become an ion?- How do you locate elements on the periodic table?- How do you determine the number of subatomic particles if it is an atom? If it is an ion?You will decide:1. If it represents and atom or an ion2. What its charge will be if it is an ion3. The name of the element4. Atomic Number5. Atomic Mass6. Number of protons7. Number of electrons8. Number of neutronsNotes:The answers are in a word bank- when you are ready to answer a question, click the box and the word bank with options will pop up!
