is the atomic number at the top or bottom of the box in the periodic table
bottom
is the atomic mass at the top or bottom of the box in the periodic table
top
the number of protons is equal to 2 things, what are they
atomic number and number of electrons
how do you work out the number of neutrons
atomic mass - number of protons
what is the outer shell called
valence shell
what is an isotope
an atom with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
an atom with only 1 ion ends in ….
……ide
e.g. fluoride, chloride
an atom with multiple ions ends in ……..
…….ate
e.g. nitrate, sulfate
what is a compound ion
an ion made up of more than one type of atom
is a cation a positive or negatively charged ion
positive
is an anion positive or negatively charged
negatively
how will ions combine
in a ratio so that the resultant compound is electrically neutral i.e. the number of positive charges =the number of negative charges
if an atom gains electrons does it have a positive or negative charge
negative
if an atom loses electrons does it have a positive or negative charge
positive
