GOOD

AFTERNOON
 The Atom is Forming
This game is somewhat similar to
“The Boat is Sinking”, it is only
differ in terms of the character
who are involved in the game.
Procedure
• Divide the participants into group of
three, the +(proton), -(electron),
(neutron) every member of each group
has one of the above mentioned
symbol.
• Gather participants in a big circle.
• Inform them that you will be saying the
phrase, "the atom is forming”. Group
yourselves into (number of electron,
proton and neutron)." The participants
must listen for the number and group
themselves accordingly. For example, if the
Trainer says, "The atom is forming. Group
yourselves into three electrons, three protons
and 4 neutrons" then participants must group
themselves consisting of three individuals
with electrons and protons and four
individuals with neutron symbol.
• Anyone left without a group is out of
the game.
• Repeat steps two to four.
• The activity ends when almost all
participants have been eliminated
from the game and you are left with
only three or four participants
standing
Learning Competencies
•a. Name and describe subatomic
particle.
•b. Determine the number of protons,
neutrons and electrons in an atom.
•c. Recognize that an element is
identified by the number of protons in
the nucleus.
 ACTIVITY

Atomic
Structure
Objective:
• Identify the subatomic
particles located in the
nucleus.
• Determine the charges of
each subatomic particles.
Direction:

• The students will observe the

atomic structure and label the
parts of an atom on the diagram
and answer the questions given.
Guide Questions:

• 4. What type of charge does a

proton have?
• 5. What type of charge does a
neutron have?
• 6. What type of charge does an
electron have?
Guide Questions:
• 7. Which two subatomic particles are
located in the nucleus of an atom?
• 8. How many protons, electrons and
neutrons are there in a figure?
• 9. Considering their locations, which
particle do you think can easily be
removed from the atom?
Answer

ELECTRON

PROTON NEUTRON
Answer
• 4. What type of charge does a
proton have? Positive Charge (+)
• 5. What type of charge does a
neutron have? Neutral Charge ( )
• 6. What type of charge does an
electron have? Negative Charge (-
)
Answer
• 7. Which two subatomic particles
are located in the nucleus of an
atom? Proton and Neutron
• 8. How many protons, electrons
and neutrons are there in a figure?
*Proton=5 *Neutron=6
*Electron=5
Answer
• 9. Considering their locations,
which particle do you think can
easily be removed from the atom?
Electron, because it is outside the
nucleus and there is no other
subatomic particles attached
unlike proton and neutron which
hold together.
The Fundamental
Components of
the Atom
 Atoms
• Atoms are the basic building
blocks of all matter.
• EVERYTHING on Earth is
made of atoms…even the air
and your body.
 e-
Atoms are made of three particles:
e-
• Protons (+) +N +

N +N
• Neutrons (N)

• Electrons (e-)
Electron

Proton Neutron
 Protons

• Protons
N

• Located in the
nucleus
• Have a positive
charge
• Have a mass of one
 Neutrons

Neutrons
N
N

• Located in the nucleus N

• Have no charge
• Have a mass of one –
similar to the proton
 Electrons
Electrons
e-
• have a negative charge
• orbit the nucleus of the
e- atom
• are very small (have
basically NO mass)
• in a neutral atom, there
are the same
number of protons and
electrons

What force holds all the parts of an
atom together?
• It is the electromagnetic force of attraction
between the positive protons in the nucleus
and the negative electrons orbiting around
the nucleus that holds the atom together.

 Atomic Number
Elements contain one or more of the same type of atom!
All known elements can be found on the periodic table.

• Elements can be identified by their atomic number.

• The atomic number is the number of PROTONS in the
atoms of an element.
• It can be used like a social security number for people.
• It is used to IDENTIFY the element from the
Periodic Table.
Example:

An element with 6 protons has an atomic number of 6 and is

the element Carbon from the Periodic Table.
 Now You Try
• Identify the element and tell how many
protons it has:
1) Atomic number 7 Nitrogen: 7 protons
2) Atomic Number 20 Calcium: 20 protons

• Identify the element and give its atomic number.

3) 15 protons Phosphorus: Atomic number 15
4) 4 protons Helium: Atomic Number 4

• Give the atomic number and number of protons.

5) Argon Atomic number 18; 18 protons
6) Sulfur Atomic number 16; 16 protons
 Atomic Mass Number
• The atomic mass number includes the
number of protons and neutrons, since they
are the two largest particles in the atom.

• Since they are both located in the nucleus,

the mass of the atom is located
in the nucleus.

Atomic Mass Number = protons +

neutrons
