Determining Atomic Structure

Subatomic particles with a negative charge

• Electrons

• Neutrons

• Protons

• Quarks

Subatomic particles with a positive charge

• neutrons
• atomic mass
• protons
• isotopes

Measure mainly of the nuclear particles: protons + neutrons

• Subatomic Particles
• Atomic Number
• Atomic Mass
• Gluons

Calculation used to find the number of neutrons in an atom

• Mass Number- Atomic Number

• Atomic Number - Mass Number

• Mass Number - Electrons

• protons = electrons = neutrons
