What changed when you added 1 more electron to the H atom model?

Atomic Number= Is the identity of an element. If you change this, then you cange what the atom is. 

Mass Number = Represents the mass of the atom. It comes from the particles that are located in the dense nucleus in the center of the atom. 

An atom becomes charged or an ion forms when an atom is no longer neutral because the number of protons does not equal the number of electrons.

How would you build a negative ion (anion) for atom 12? Would you need to lose or gain electrons?

Review the key takeaways summary table. 

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Add/Remove Protons		A new element forms
Add/Remove Neutrons		Same element with a different mass
Add/Remove Electrons		Forms a charge/ion of the same element
