mass number
mass of an atom; number of protons + number of neutrons
atomic number / proton number
number of protons in an atom (equal to number of electrons in a NEUTRAL atom)
* if the proton number changes, the element changes.
isotope definition
the same element that has a different number of neutrons -> different mass
relative atomic mass calculation taking into account isotopes
(mass1 x frequency (%)) + (mass2 x frequency (%))

Mendeleev’s periodic table (features)
- arranged in order of increasing mass
- left gaps in his periodic table for elements that has not been discovered and correctly predicted the properties of these elements
the modern periodic table (features)
- columns (I) of elements are called groups
- groups of elements have similar properties
- rows (—) of elements are called periods
shells are filled with the inside ([highest/lowest] energy) first
lowest
the first 3 electron shells can fit _, _, _ electrons
2, 8, 8
elements in the same group have…
- the same same number of electrons in the outer shell
- similar chemical properties
elements in the same period have…
- the same number of shells
- an extra electron is added to the same shell as you move along
