What is the relative mass and relative charge of a proton, neutron and electron?
Proton: 1, +1. Neutron: 1, 0. Electron: 1/2000, -1.

An atom has the same number of protons as what, thus making it?
Electrons, making it neutral.

What 2 different and 1 similar things do isotopes of the same element have?
Different masses and numbers of neutrons, same number of protons and electrons

Why do different isotopes of the same element react in the same way? (2)
Reactions involve electrons and neutrons make no difference to reactivity.
13 of 18
Define ion.
A positively or negatively charged atom or a covalently bonded molecular ion.
14 of 18
What makes an ion charged?
The have different numbers of protons and electrons.
