Mss number
Where can you find proton and electron?
Inside the nucleus/// outside the nucleus
Two or more forms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons
Isotopes
Occurs when the outermost electrons are transferred or shared bet atoms
Chemical bonding
2 manor types of chem bond
