1
Q
what are nucleons?
A
protons and neutrons found in the nucleus
2
Q
What are relative electrical charges?
A
Its a more practical way to measure the charges of the subatomic particles: the charges of each subatomic particle are measured relative to each other.
3
Q
What are the relative electrical charges and masses of each subatomic particle?
A
Protons: +1 Charge, relative Mass 1
Neutrons: 0/neutral charge, relative mass 1
Electrons: -1 charge, relative mass 1/1840
4
Q
When/why are Ions formed?
A
Ions are formed when an atom loses or gains electrons to obtain a full outer shell
