Atomic mass number
No. Of protons + neutrons
Relative mass of protons neutrons and electrons

Relative charge protons neutrons and electrons
+1 0 -1
Position of protons neutrons and electrons
Nucleus , nucleus, shell
Who discovered the plum pudding model
JJ Thompson - 1897
Who did the gold foil experiment? When?
Rutherford - 1911
Who discovered the neutron? When?
Chadwick- 1932
Ions are?
Charged particles
Positive ions formed when atoms lose electrons
Negative ions formed when atoms gain electrons
Size of the atom
Atoms have a radius of 0.1 nanometres (nm) or 1 x 10 to the power of -10m
What are isotopes
Atoms of the same element which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
How to find relative atomic mass - R.A.M
R.A.M = (Mass Number 1 x abundance) + ( Mass number 2 x abundance) / total abundance
What is ionic bonding and what is it called?
Giant ionic lattice
Occurs in metal ions when reacting with non-metal ions.
The positive metal ion transfers one or more electrons to the negative non-metal ion that both end up with full outer shells.
They are attracted by electrostatic attractions.
Properties of Ionic bonds
Strong and lots of heat energy needed to break
Cations and anions
Lose electrons- cations
Gains electrons- anions
