1
Q
isotopes
A
an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
2
Q
do isotopes have same or different atomic and mass numbers?
A
same atomic number, different mass number
3
Q
relative atomic mass (Ar)
A
an average mass taking into account the different masses and abundances of all the isotopes that make up the element
4
Q
calculate Ar
A
(mass isotope 1 x abundance) + (mass isotope 2 x abundance)/100
