Chapter 2.3 The modern view of the atomic structure Flashcards
1
Q
3 subatomic particles are
A
- neutrons(o) protons (+1) and electrons (-1)
Every atom has #protons = # electrons so they have no net charge
2
Q
ATOMIC MASS UNIT 1 amu=
A
1.66054 x10^-24
3
Q
PROTON amu
A
1.0073 amu
4
Q
NEUTRON amu
A
1.0087 amu
5
Q
ELECTRON amu
A
5.486 x10 -4 amu
6
Q
1 proton/ 1 neutron = ? electrons
neutrons and protons have almost the same mass
A
1836 electrons
7
Q
Angstrom
A
1A = 1x10 -10 m
8
Q
ATOMIC NUMBER
A
is the number of PROTONS
9
Q
ISOTOPES
A
Atoms with identical atomic numbers but different mass numbers ( same number of protons and different number of neutrons) are called ISOTOPES of one another
