How do you find the mass of an element?
Protons+neutrons
What’s the atomic number?
Number of protons
What is the charge of an element?
Charge of protons + charge of neutrons.
What is an isotope?
A molecule with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
What do opposite forces do?
Attract
What do same forces do?
Repel
What’s the force when distance is x2
F=1/4
Does charge have a direct effect on force?
Yes
How does the force relate to protons?
The more protons, the stronger the force is on the electrons.
How does the force relate to electrons?
The more electrons, the weaker the force is
