?
Define an isotope
Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
1 of 10
Define mass number
Number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
2 of 10
Define atomic number
Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
3 of 10
Define relative atomic mass
The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element when compared to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of C-12
4 of 10
Define relative isotopic mass
The mass of an atom of an isotope when compared with 1/12 of the mass of an atom of C-12
5 of 10
What is the charge and mass of a proton?
Charge = +1 Mass = 1
6 of 10
What is the charge and mass of a neutron?
Charge = 0 Mass = 1
7 of 10
What is the charge and mass of an electron?
Charge = -1 Mass = 1/1836
8 of 10
Explain why isotopes of elements react in the same way in chemical reactions.
isotopes of an element have the same number of outer shell electrons. Only outer shell electrons participate in chemical bonding
9 of 10
How do you work out relative atomic mass?
(mass number x percentage abundance) + (mass number x percentage abundance) etc / 100
