6. Describe the atom's structure in terms of the mass, charge, and location of each subatomic particle. In addition, describe how to determine the number of each particle using the Periodic Table. (Hint: Use the 5 column by 4 row table below. Label the columns: Particle, Mass, Charge, Location, and Determining Number. Under Particle in the first column put the names of the 3 subatomic particles. Study Tip: Making table to organize information is a great way to be sure you understand how different concepts are related to one another.) Particle | Mass | Charge | Location | Determining number --- | --- | --- | --- | --- Proton | 1.0 | positive | nucleus | Neutron | 1.0 | no charge | nucleus | electron | negligible | negative | orbit outside nucleus | 0
