    ATOM

    BY: CHRISTINE LOUELLA D. ZAMORA


    Atom
     Thomson discovered the first of the atom's pieces – the
    tiny, negatively charged electron – in 1897. Thirteen
    years later, his former student, Ernest Rutherford,
    discovered that all of the atom's positive charge, and
    most of its mass, are concentrated in a tiny central
    core he called the nucleus.
    Subatomic Particles of an Atom:

    ELECTRONS (e⁻)

    PROTONS (p⁺)

    NEUTRONS (n⁰)
    ElectronS (e⁻)

     Electron was discovered by J. J.  Unlike protons and


    Thomson in October 1897 neutrons, which are
    when he was studying the located inside the nucleus
    properties of cathode ray.
    at the center of the atom,
    electrons are
    found outside the
    nucleus.
    PROTONS (p⁺)

    famous gold foil experiment. Ernest Rutherford in 1917.
     Found in the nucleus. It has an
    electrical charge of one +1 and
    a mass of 1 atomic mass
    unit(amu).
    NEUTRONS (n⁰)

    an atom discovered by a British physicist protons, are subatomic

    Beryllium with alpha particles from the
    natural radioactive decay of Polonium.
