Chemistry quiz 2 Flashcards
mass number 1amu and charge +1
Proton
Mass number 0amu and charge -1
Electron
Mass number 1amu and charge 0
Neutron
Found in the nucleus
Proton and Neutron
Found in the energy levels
Electron
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers. Different amounts of neutrons cause different mass numbers.
Isotope
Atoms with an electric charge. Electric charge is caused by losing or gaining electrons
Ions
What is the equation for calculating the charge of an atom?
Charge = protons - Electrons
Tells us the mass of an individual atom
Mass number - whole
Tells us the average mass of all the atoms of a certain alement
Atomic mass - decimal
