5.1 Flashcards
what is the charge of a proton?
+1
what is the charge of a neutron?
0
What is the charge of a electron?
-1
what are valence electrons?
the electrons on the outer edge/ring of the atom
where are the parts of the atom?
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, while electrons are on the outside.
According to Coulombic’s equation, what would happen when you increase the charge?
the force will increase
what will happen when you increase the distance?
the force will decrease
what is an isotope?
A variant of an atom that has a different number of neutrons but the same number of protons so the identity doesn’t change
What is atomic mass
The number of protons plus the number of neutrons
what is the atomic mass of a typical atom of carbon?
12 (6+6)
As you move to the right in the periodic table, what happens to the atomic mass
it increases
