CALCULATIONS- relative atomic mass & isotopes Flashcards
1
Q
2 types of chlorine (isotopes)
A
Cl 35 Cl 37 17 17 75% 25% (75/100 x 35) (25/100 x 37) =26.25 =9.25 \+ =35.5
2
Q
RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS
A
the average of isotopes
3
Q
isotopes
A
atoms of the same element,
that have the same number of protons,
but a different number of neutrons
change electrons= ions
change neutrons= isotopes
different isotopes will have different masses but they will react the same because the outer shell electrons determine their reactivity.
