Characteristic of atoms Flashcards
1
Q
Atomic weight
A
mass of relative to one atom of another. define one isotope of an element as the standard against which others are measured. (12-C = standard)
2
Q
Mass #
A
number of proton and neutron (exact number)
3
Q
Isotope
A
same number proton, different neutron
4
Q
Calculate Average atomic mass (Amu)
A
(Mass of isotope1 x % abundance) + (Mass of isotope2 x % abundance) + etc = Amu
