Lesson Topic
atomic structure
Lesson Outline
Discuss the proton and the determination of the atomic number of an atom.
Introduce the neutron, its mass and lack of charge. Locate it in the nucleus.
Discuss the difference between atomic mass and atomic mass units.
Define how to determine the atomic mass units from the nucleons.
Introduce isotopes.
Explain how the atomic mass (weight) is the sum of the averages of the percentages of neutrons in the nucleus.
Explain the 3 isotopes of hydrogen, and what heavy water is. Discuss the importance of heavy water in collecting heavy hydrogen to produce a nuclear weapon.
