atomic structure Flashcards
what is a atom made up of
subatomic partitcles
what is the relaltive mass of a proton
1
what is the relative mass of a neutron
1
what is the relative mass of an electron
0.0005
what is the relative charge of a proton
+1
what is the relaltive charge of a neutron
0
what is the relative charge of an electron
-1
what does the nucleus contain
protons and electrons
what charge does the nucleus have
posative because of the protons
what does number of electrons equal
number of protons
if some electrons are added or removed what happens to the atom
is becomes an ion with a charge
what does the atomic number tell you
how many protons there are
what does the mass number tell you
how many protons and neutrons there are
how do you work out number of neutrons
subtract atomic number from the mass number
