Structure of The Atom Notes

This document contains Cornell notes on the structure of the atom. It includes questions and answers on the three main subatomic particles, the nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons, atomic mass units, isotopes, radioactive atoms, mass number, writing isotope names, and how the atomic model has changed over time. It also describes an atoms foldable activity where students create 8 pages illustrating different atoms with their atomic number, mass, symbol, and numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Atoms Foldable
Make an eight page foldable illustrating different atoms. Each elements page will have the following
items listed and illustrated.

 Protons should be colored red


 Neutrons should be colored brown
 Electrons should be colored blue
 Around the protons and neutrons should be a penciled in outline noting the nucleus of the atom.
 The name of the element should be completely written out
 Include the atoms atomic number
 Include the atomic mass
 Include the atomic symbol 4
 Include the number of protons Beryllium
 Include the number of electrons
 Include the number of Neutrons
