For an electron
Relative mass
1/1840
Relative charge
-1
Where is it found
Shells
What is the maximum number of electrons aloud in each shell
1 - 2
2 - 8
3 - 8
4 - 8
What is the atomic number
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
What is the mass number
The mass number is the TOTAL number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
Why does an atom have no charge
The atom as a whole has no electrical charge because there are the same number of protons and electrons
23
Na
11
Mass number = 23
Atomic number = 11
What is the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in Na
P= 11
E= 11
N= 23-11 = 12
How many shells are there in Na, and how many electrons are there in each one
There is 3 shells
In the first one = 2
Second one = 8
Thrid one = 1
What is the electronic configuration for Na
2,8,1
