  • isotopes.
67
Q
  1. What is the definition of a proton (atomic) number?
A

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

neutral atom: proton=electron

68
Q
  1. What is the definition of a nucleon (mass) number
A

the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.

neutral atom: proton=electron

69
Q

A

nucleon (mass) no. - proton (atomic) number.

70
Q

atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

71
Q

A

atoms of elements in the same period with the same number of electron shells

75
Q
  1. State the definition of positive ions
A

atoms of metals (Grp 1-13) that lose electrons to form positively charged ions to achieve a stable electronic configuration.

76
Q
  1. Will there be more protons or electrons after forming positively charged ions?
A

no. of protons > no. of electrons

the no. of protons will never be equal to the no. of electrons.

A

atoms of non metals (Grp 15-17) gain electrons to form negatively charged ions to achieve a stable electronic configuration.

78
Q
  1. Will there be more protons or electrons after forming positively charged ions?
A

no. of protons < no. of electrons

the no. of protons will never be equal to the no. of electrons.

79
Q
  1. Does grp 18 elements lose or gain electrons?
A

grp 18 elements are chemically unreactive so they wont lose or gain electrons as their atoms already have a stable electronic configuration.
