Unit 1 Flashcards
Where are protons found?
• In the nucleus
What is the mass of a proton and it’s charge?
• Positive charge and a mass of 1
Where are neutrons found?
• In the nucleus
What is the mass of a neutron and it’s charge?
• Neutral charge and a mass of 1
Where are electrons found?
• Outside of the nucleus in the electron shells
What is the mass of an electron and it’s charge?
• Negative charge and a mass of 0
Why are atoms neutral?
• Atoms are neutral because the number of positively charged protons equals the number of negatively charged electrons.
What is an isotope?
• Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number (same element) but different mass number.
What is ionic bonding?
