  1. Atomic Structure Basic and Beyond

  2. What are the 3 major parts of an atom? Protons Electrons Neutrons

  3. Where is each located?

  4. What are the charges on each basic part?

  5. The Nucleus The nucleus contains most of an atom's mass. Why? The nucleus is the central part of an atom. It is composed of protons and neutrons. Unlike in a living cell, the nucleus of an atom is not a physical thing. It is the name for the area that holds the protons and neutrons.

  6. What forces hold the atom together? Electromagnetic likes repel, opposites attract (+ or -) Weak Force ·works with quarks and leptons and decides how flavors change ·helps stabilize nuclei through beta decay ·shorter distances than the strong force! Gravity Since this binds matter together based on mass, we think this plays no role in atoms Strong Force interacts with hadrons or nucleons so the protons and neutrons binds them together works only at distances smaller than 1 quadrillionth of a meter!!!

  7. Protons Protons are positively charged particles found in the atomic nucleus. Protons were discovered by Ernest Rutherford. Who discovered the proton? What experiment did he use? Protons have a mass. We designate this mass as 1 amu (atomic mass unit). Protons determine the atomic number and thus the identity of the substance.

  8. Can protons be broken down? Experiments done in the late 1960's and early 1970's showed that protons are made from other particles called quarks. Protons are made from two 'up' quarks and one 'down' quark.

  9. What is a quark, anyway? Fundamental particle which possesses electric charge and 'strong' charge. The are held together by the strong force. They combine in groups of two or three to form mesonsandbaryons

  10. There are several kinds of quarks Quarks come in six different species (physicists call them 'flavors') Each flavor has a unique mass. Quark song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0kXkWXSXRA

  11. Neutrons Neutrons are uncharged particles found in the atomic nucleus. Why would a neutron be hard to discover? They have a mass of 1 amu Isotopes result when neutron number changes The decimals in the atomic mass are from the AVERAGE of the isotopes. Neutrons were discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

  12. Isotopes Example:

  13. Can Neutrons Be Broken Down? • Experiments done in the late 1960's and early 1970's showed that neutrons are made from other particles called quarks. Neutrons are made from one 'up' quark and two 'down' quarks.

  14. What is the Electron Cloud Model?Diagram 1:

  15. Electrons Electrons are negatively charged particles that surround the atom's nucleus. Who discovered electrons? What experiment was used? Why were they easy to discover? The mass of an electron is so small that it is called “zero”. Electrons determine chemical properties of the atom. Electrons are arranged in orbitals that are part of probability clouds.

  16. So subatomic particles are themselves made of smaller particles! • Subatomic particles composed of fast moving points of energy called quarks Quark Calculations(for protons and neutrons) Each proton is 2 up quarks and 1 down quark 2(2/3) – 1(1/3) = 4/3 – 1/3 = 3/3 or +1 Each neutron is 2 down quarks and 1 up quark 2(-1/3) + 2/3 = 0

  17. So, are there other characteristics of quarks? The two lightest are 'up' and 'down' quarks They combine to form protons and neutrons. The heavier quarks aren't found in nature and have so far only been observed in particle accelerators.

  18. Can we get smaller? Fermions Bosons Leptons Hadrons And more So we can categorize And get smaller But quarks are still the smallest for now

  19. Can things get even smaller? Higgs boson Neutrino And more are hypothesized sub sub sub particles! Still looking for evidence for these. . .

  20. Why are sub subatomic particles important? Could lead to many things in the future: energy, new elements Predict properties such as nuclear decay Explain types of nuclear decay Help us to understand organization of matter

  21. How do accelerators work?

  22. How are new particles discovered? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0KjXsGRvoA
