what charge is the nucleus?
always positively charged
what charge does an atom how and why?

has the same number of electrons and protons
what is an isotope?
isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons
have the same atomic number
same chemical reactions
different number of neutrons
what is molecular mass?
the mass of a molecule
what is a mole?
unit for amount of substance
how do you find the molar mass?
you add together the relative atomic mass for all the atoms shown in the chemical formula
how do you work out the number of moles in an experiment?
mass divided by molar mass
