1.6 – Mechanical Mixtures and Solutions (Read and answer questions #1, 2, and 5)
Lesson 4: The Periodic Table of Elements
Some Key Concepts About Elements and their Atoms
- Atoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus.
- Electrons surround the nucleus.
- Protons have a positive charge.
- Electrons have a negative charge.
- The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite.
- Neutrons have no charge.
- Since opposite charges attract, protons and electrons attract each other.
