chem summ 2 terms Flashcards
equal to the number of protons in the
nucleus.
ATOMIC NUMBER
equal to the sum of the number of protons
and neutrons for an atom
MASS NUMBER
Atomic number =
number of protons = number of electrons in a neutral atom
Mass number =
number of protons + number of neutrons
share the same number
of protons but have different numbers of
neutrons.
Isotopes
is used to describe
particular isotopes, when describing the
nuclear properties of an atom
nuclide
for isotopes of different elements with
the same number of neutrons
Isotones
for isotopes of different elements with
the same mass number
Isobars
for isotopes identical in all respects
except for the total energy content of the nuclei
Isomers
radioactive isotope will use or
recommend to diagnose the function of thyroid
gland.
Iodine-131
makes use of the long-lived
isotope carbon-14 to determine how old objects.
Carbon dating
give the lowest wholenumber ratio of atoms of each element in
a compound.
Empirical formulas
give the exact
number of atoms of each element in a
compound.
Molecular formulas
show the order in
which atoms are bonded.
Structural formulas
also show the three-dimensional shape of atoms in a
compound.
