atomic structure and periodic table Flashcards
what relative mass, relative charge does a proton have
relative mass: 1
relative charge: positive 1
what relative mass, relative charge does a neutron have
relative mass: 1
relative charge: 0
what relative mass, relative charge does a electron have
relative mass: very small
relative charge: negative 1
what is the number of protons on an element
the atomic number
what is the number of neutrons on an element
the atomic number
what is the number of electrons on an element
mass number - atomic number
what is the number on top of an element
the mass number
what is the number on the bottom of an element
the atomic number
define what isotope is
it is the same element but with different amounts neutrons
how do you work out the relative atomic mass
total mass of atoms
————————————— = relative atomic mass
total number of atoms
how do you work out the total mass of atoms
the mass number x the abundance
how do you work out the total number of atoms
Both mass numbers added together
how is the modern periodic table organised
it’s organised by increasing atomic number
what does it mean be the term group
all the numbers in the group have the same number of electrons in there outer shell
what dopes it mean by the term period
when those elements were discovered
