what is an atomic number
the number of protons
what is a mass number
number of protons + neutrons
what are isotopes
atoms of same element with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons
why do isotopes have similar chemical properties
they have the same electronic
structure
why do isotopes have different physical properties
they have different masses
what is relative isotopic mass
mass of one isotope compared to one twelfth of the mass of one atom of carbon-12
