Purpose of the Game

Your Game Goals

1) Identify the parts of an atom2) Distinguish between the three subatomic particles in an atom 3) Classify different elements based on their atomic features

QUESTION 1/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 2/16 - The Atom

Answer 1 & 2 - The Atom

Two Regions of the Atom

The atom is made up of a very small, massively dense nucleus located in the center of the atom. It is surrounded by the electron cloud, which is a mostly empty volume of space.

QUESTION 3/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 4/16 - The Atom

Answer 3 & 4 - The Atom

Atomic Subatomic Particles

The atom contains postively charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons located in the nucleus. It also contains negatively charged electrons that orbit around the nucleus in the electron cloud.

QUESTION 5/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 6/16 - The Atom

ANSWER 5 & 6 - The Atom

Properties of the Subatomic Particle

A proton determines the identity and mass of an element. A neutron determines the mass and radioactive property of an element. An electron determines the bonding preference and chemical reactivity of an element.

QUESTION 7/16 - The atom

QUESTION 8/16 - The Atom

Answer 7 & 8 - The Atom

Atomic Models

The Bohr model is a way to visualize incredibly tiny atoms. The positive circles are protons, the other colored circles are neutrons, and the negative electrons orbit around the nucleus in different energy levels. The number of protons determines the atomic number and identity of an element.

QUESTION 9/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 10/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 11/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 12/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 13/16 - The Atom

Answer 9-13 - The Atom

Types of Atoms

The number of protons help to identify an element. An isotope is a different type of atom of the same element but with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. An ion is an electrical charged atom of the same element but with a different number of electrons.

QUESTION 14/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 15/16 - The Atom

QUESTION 16/16 - The Atom

Answer 13-16 - The Atom

Periodic Table of Elements

The Periodic Table organizes elements according to similiar chemical and physical properties. The atomic number, average atomic mass, element symbol, and name of each known element is provided. This table also lists each element in order of atomic number.

End of the Quiz!
