- 1. Self-Paced Chemistry E-lesson Activity Sheet Topic: Atomic Structure Learning Outcomes At the end of the topic, you should be able to: (a) state the relative charges and approximate relative masses of a proton, a neutron and an electron (b) define proton (atomic) number and nucleon (mass) number 12 (c) interpret and use symbols such as 6C (d) define the term isotopes (e) deduce the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons in atoms and ions given proton and nucleon numbers (f) describe, with the aid of diagrams, the structure of an atom as containing protons and neutrons (nucleons) in the nucleus and electrons arranged in shells (energy levels) Instructions This lesson comprises several checkpoints. You are to complete all checkpoints at your own pace. As you go through each checkpoint, you may make notes and/or put down your reflections in your Chemistry journal. Checkpoint 1: Let’s Get Started! Task: Explore and find out about the key ideas of atoms, isotopes and electronic configurations.
