Presentation on theme: "What are the masses of the subatomic particles?"— Presentation transcript:

1 What are the masses of the subatomic particles?
Atoms and atomic mass What are the masses of the subatomic particles?

2 Review Questions: What is the charge on a proton?
What is the charge on a neutron? What is the charge on an electron?

3 Review Questions: What two particles are found in the nucleus?
What is the region outside of the nucleus called?

4 Plickers This assessment will be used as a quiz grade
The same questions were used in your practice quiz yesterday

5 Atomic Mass Protons and neutrons have similar masses
Each proton and neutron has a mass of 1 amu Amu – atomic mass unit

6 Why not electrons? The mass of an electron is 1/1876 of a proton
Yes, electrons have mass, but we do not count them in the atomic mass

7 Mass is… Mass is the amount of matter in an object
Because electrons are so small, most of the matter in an atom, its mass, is in the nucleus = p + n

8 Look back in your notes…
What takes up most of the volume of an atom? Empty space
