Atoms, Ions and Isotopes Flashcards
Rawr
What has a positive charge
protons
What has a negative charge
Electrons
What has a natural charge
Neutrons
Which two atoms are in the nucleus?
Protons and Neutrons
Which atom is outside of the nucleus?
Electron
How do you find the charge of an Ion?
Proton - Electron
How do you find the mass of an atom?
Proton + Neutron
What can protons help you find?
Atomic Number
Isotopes
Atoms/Ions of the same element but with different mass numbers (which means they have a different number of neutrons)
Nuclear notation
12C6 (12 is mass and 6 is atomic number)
What does carbon-12 means?
Its mass is 12
What is R.A.M.
WEIGHTED AVERAGE MASS OF ISOTOPES IN A SAMPLE (I’m sorry for yelling)
How to find R.A.M.
(% abundance of Isotope 1)(mass of isotope 1) + (%abundance of isotope 2)(mass of isotope 2) + so on
What is a cation
when the charge is +
What is an anion
When the charge is -
