ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND ISOTOPES Flashcards
Proton and electron charges are
Balanced . Meaning they are equal
Relative charge of a neutron
0
Relative mass of proton
1
Realsatire mass of neutron
1
Relative mass of electron
1/1836
Atomic number(Z) is the
Amount of protons/Electrons at the top of an element
Isotopes are
The same elements with different numbers of neutrons but with the same atomic number
Mass number (A) is
The number of protons + neutrons
Different isotopes of the same elements have
The same number of electrons
Ion is a
Charged particle
Positive ions / Cations
OVERALL POSITIVE CHARGE
Negative ions / Anions
OVERALL NEGATIVE CHARGE
Group 1 has
+1 ions
Group 2 has
+2 ions
Group 3 has
+3 ions
Group 5 has
-3 ions
Group 6 has
-2 ions
Group 7 has
-1 ions
Relative isotopic mass
The mass compared with 1/12th mass of carbon 12
