Atoms and molecules Flashcards
What is the relative atomic mass?
The number of protons and neutrons
Group down or right
Period down or right
Group down
Period right
Relative atomic mass of protons, neutrons and electrons
P 1
N 1
E 1/1836
What is the outermost shell in the electronic structure known as?
The valence shell
Why is an atom electrically neutral?
Atom is neutral because atoms have the same number of protons and electrons.(1-1=0)
P 1
N 0
E -1
What are isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.(Proton number is same=Same element)
How do you find the period number?
Number of electron shells
How do you find the group number?
Number of electrons in valence shell
Ammonia chemical formula
