C1.2 Flashcards
Isotopes
-atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
-same atomic number but different mass number
-have the same chemical properties but different physical properties
Ions
-formed when an atom loses or gains electrons
positive ion
when electrons are lost a cation is formed
negative ion
when electrons are gained an anion is formed
proton charge
+
proton mass
1
neutron charge
no charge

order biggest to smallest: proton, nucleus, molecule, atom, electron
molecule, atom, nucleus, proton, electron
which is bigger the atomic number or the mass number?
mass number
number of protons=
atomic number
number of electrons=
number of protons
number of neutrons=
mass number- atomic number
