Atomic Theory Vocab Flashcards
0
Q
Neutron
A
0 (neutral): mass number (protons and neutrons)-atomic number (protons)
1
Q
Proton
A
+ :atomic number
2
Q
Electrons
A
- :equal to number of protons
3
Q
Isotopes
A
Atoms of same element, different number of neutrons - (weight not chemical properties) change (mass number changes)
4
Q
Relative atomic mass
A
Average mass of an atom compared to mass of 12(upper) 6(lower) C - has a mass of 12 on the atomic scale
(Percentage of abundance of first isotope/100 x mass number of isotope) + (same for each isotope)
