GCSE Atomic Structure

Which particle has a positive charge?

• electron
• orbital
• proton
• neutron

Choose the particle that has no charge.

• nucleus
• neutron
• proton
• electron

This particle determines what element you have - the elements identity.

• electron
• proton
• neutron
• valence shell

This causes the mass of the nucleus to increase.

• adding an electron
• adding a neutron
• more orbitals
• adding negatively charged particles

An electron has a _____ charge.

• negative
• positive
• neutral

Describe an Electron Cloud?

• the mist outside of an atom
• home of the protons
• where electrons are located

What charge does the nucleus have and why?

• positive - the neutrons do not have a charge
• positive - the neutrons and protons are positively charged particles
• neutral - the neutral charge dominates the positive charge
• neutral - electrons cancel out the positive charge of the atom
