Atomic Structure in a Snap!

SnapRevise is the UK’s leading A-level and GCSE revision & exam preparation resource offering comprehensive video courses created by A* tutors. Our courses are designed around the OCR, AQA, SNAB, Edexcel B, WJEC, CIE and IAL exam boards, concisely covering all the important concepts required by each specification. In addition to all the content videos, our courses include hundreds of exam question videos, where we show you how to tackle questions and walk you through step by step how to score full marks.

Sign up today and together, let’s make A-level Chemistry a walk in the park!

The key points covered in this video include:
1. What is an Atom?
2. Atomic Structure
3. Sub-Atomic Particles
4. Mass Number and Atomic Mass
5. Example: Element

What is an Atom?

Fundamental piece of matter. Everything is made of atoms! (Apart from energy). Basic Unit - The smallest particle of a chemical element. Many models of the atom have been proposed.

The Structure of the Atom

Nucleus: Centre of the atom, Tiny! Dense. Electrons: Orbit the nucleus in shells, Do not contribute much to the mass of the atom.

Sub-Atomic Particles

Neutral Atoms: Protons = Electrons, + ve = - ve

Mass and Atomic Number

A: Mass Number, Number of Nucleons, Protons + Neutrons. Z: Atomic Number, Number of Protons. X: Element

Example: Aluminum

Atomic Number: Protons. Mass Number: Protons + Neutrons. Mass number will be the bigger number.

Summary

Atoms are the smallest particle of an element
Atoms consist of a central nucleus orbited by shells of electrons
The atom is composed of sub-atomic particles
a. Protons (P)
b. Neutrons (N)
c. Electrons (E)
The nucleus is composed of:
a. Protons
b. Neutrons
Each sub-atomic particle has its own identity
a. Different relative mass and charge
In neutral atoms: Protons = Electrons
Mass Number (A) = P + N
Atomic Number (Z) = P

If I got a question like that in the exam I would be very happy

For someone studying Chem Alevel 7 years after my GCSEs this is super helpful so thanks!

Relative mass of an electron is 1/1840.

Really helpful. Does also sort of sound like you're being taught by Hermione Granger.

I just finished IGCSE, got A*s in physics, bio, Chem & maths. Now I have free time & during this time I'm looking to start preparing for igcse. Is your CHEM series of snaprevise sufficient enough to start preparing???

Plz explain why atomic number is on top and mass number on bottom ? In my opinion atomic number should be on bottom and mass number be on top ..?

isn't this like gcse level stuff?

proton is not = to electron
proton = electron-charge

There seems to be a mistake in the representation of the figure 2 under mass and atomic number, its Mass number top and atomic number bottom.

God meeting the conditions of my Oxford and UCL offers would be a breeze if this girl drew up the Edexcel paper. On that note anyone doing Edexcel chemistry a levels or any Edexcel a levels really, my the alchemic gods of old guide you in your quest. Edexcel mark schemes take the piss and they love to give really obtuse questions. For example please feel free to answer this genuine Edexcel bio question and I'll tell you if you would get any marks, "an athlete decides to exercise, describe the affects of exercise on the athletes respiration" (3 marks)
