Only protons and neutrons contribute to an atom's mass value. For atoms neutral species , the number of electrons is equivalent to the number of protons. As a result, all atoms have an overall charge of zero. For discussion of ions atoms that gain or lose electrons , look to the latter part of this chapter. Atoms that differ in neutron and mass values from the table are called isotopes.
These particular species can be seen in the following section of the text. Learning Objectives Know the basics of the experiments involving the discoveries of the three subatomic particles Memorize relative charge values and amu masses of the three subatomic particles. Realize the location of the proton,electron, and neutron inside the atomic model. The nucleus contains protons and electrons. Solution False, the nucleus contains the protons and the neutrons. Electrons are outside the core.
False, electrons do not contribute to the mass number of an atom. For reference, it would take about electrons to equal the mass of one proton. The properties of these fundamental particles are summarized in the following table.

An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element. Atoms combine to form molecules, which then interact to form solids, gases, or liquids. For example, water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that have combined to form water molecules.
Many biological processes are devoted to breaking down molecules into their component atoms so they can be reassembled into a more useful molecule. Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus center of the atom contains the protons positively charged and the neutrons no charge.
The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons negatively charged. Atoms have different properties based on the arrangement and number of their basic particles. The hydrogen atom H contains only one proton, one electron, and no neutrons.
This can be determined using the atomic number and the mass number of the element see the concept on atomic numbers and mass numbers. Structure of an atom : Elements, such as helium, depicted here, are made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of protons and neutrons located within the nucleus, with electrons in orbitals surrounding the nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.
Scientists define this amount of mass as one atomic mass unit amu or one Dalton. Although similar in mass, protons are positively charged, while neutrons have no charge. Therefore, the number of neutrons in an atom contributes significantly to its mass, but not to its charge. Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9. In these atoms, the positive and negative charges cancel each other out, leading to an atom with no net charge. Both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 amu and are found in the nucleus.
Exploring Electron Properties : Compare the behavior of electrons to that of other charged particles to discover properties of electrons such as charge and mass.
