  • Atomic Structure
    • Atoms contain neutrons, electrons and protons
      • Protons have a mass of 1 and a charge of +1
      • Electrons have a mass of 1/1840 and a charge of -1
      • Neutrons have a mass of 1 and a charge of 0
    • Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element
      • Na has an atomic number of 11
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
    • Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of that element
    • Relative isotopic mass is the mass of an atom of an isotope divided by 1/12 the mass of Carbon-12 atom
    • Relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an atom of an element divided by 1/12 the mass of Carbon-12 atom
    • Relative molecular mass is the average mass of a molecule of that element divided by 1/12 the mass of Carbon-12 atom
    • Relative formula mass is the average mass of a formula unit divided by 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
