Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
- Has different atomic masses
- Same amount of protons
Atomic Number Determination
Determined by the number of protons
Relative Abundance
percentage of atoms with a specific atomic mass found in a naturally occurring sample of an element
0
Equation used to determine the relative abundance of each isotope
Main types of subatomic particles in an atom
protons, neutrons, and electrons
Mass Number
Mass number = (#protons) + (#neutrons)
Equation for # of Neutrons
neutrons = mass number − (#protons)
Isotopic notation
Shows the atomic number, mass number and charge of an isotope in a single symbol.
