What occupies most of the space of the atom? What is the mass of a proton or a neutron and how does it compare to an electron’s mass? (see below) What information can be found on the periodic table for each element? What is the atomic number? Can an element have two (on more?) different types or sizes of nuclei? Can they have different numbers of protons? Of neutrons? Of electrons?  What is atomic mass? What are isotopes? What is a Bohr orbital (ring) model?  Why does the Bohr model not adequately capture the electron configuration of an element?  How is a p-orbital shape different from a “Bohr orbit” ring idea?
