LESSON 4 Flashcards
Who studied the weights of various elements and compounds. He noticed that matter is always combined in fixed ratios based on weight or volume in the case of gases.
John Dalton
It is the building blocks of matter. They are the smallest particles of an element that still have the element’s properties.
Atoms
What Subatomic Particles has a positive electric charge?
Protons
What Subatomic Particles has a negative electric charge?
Electrons
What Subatomic Particles has a neutral in electric charge.
Neutrons
It is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Mass Number
How do you get the Mass Number?
Atomic Number + Number of Neutrons
How do you get Neutrons
Mass Number - Atomic Number
It means an atom that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to a change in the number of neutrons.
