This worksheet introduces the atom and uncovers the
properties of protons, neutrons, electrons, ions and
isotopes. It also contains a table allows for comparing the
mass and charge of protons, neutrons and electrons, and their
relation to elements in the periodic table.
Educational Value Statement
- Defines atoms
