Atomic structure worksheets are designed to help you understand the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus, while electrons orbit around it. The number of protons determines what element an atom is. These worksheets provide a practical way to learn how these components interact and define an atom's properties, like its mass and charge.
Match the term with its definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|

| 3. Electron | C. Particle with no charge |
| 4. Nucleus | D. Particle with a positive charge |
| 5. Atomic Number | E. Number of protons in the nucleus |
Match the correct Term to its Definition.
