An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. Everything around us, including solids, liquids, and gases, is made up of atoms. Atoms are extremely small and consist of three main parts: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Label Parts of the Atom
1. Nucleus: The nucleus is the central part of the atom. It contains protons and neutrons, and it is very dense and positively charged.
2. Protons: Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines what element it is (for example, hydrogen has one proton, while carbon has six).
3. Neutrons: Neutrons are neutral particles (they have no charge) that are also located in the nucleus. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus and contribute to the atom’s mass.
4. Electrons: Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus in regions called electron shells. They are much smaller than protons and neutrons and are involved in chemical reactions.
5. Electron Shells: Electron shells are the paths or energy levels around the nucleus where electrons can be found. Electrons fill these shells in a specific order, influencing how atoms bond.
Now that you’ve learned about the parts of an atom, you can see how these tiny building blocks create everything around us! Understanding atoms helps us explore science and discover how different materials are made. Keep learning, and you’ll uncover even more amazing things about our world!
