Chemistry-Atomic structure

?
what is the relative mass of protons and neutrons?
1. they are very small.
1 of 10
what is the relative mass of an electron?
it is negligible because it is so small
2 of 10
what are the charges of the proton neutron and electron in the central nucleus?
proton,+(+1) charge electron,-(-1)charge neutrons,no charge (0)
3 of 10
what charge does the overall atom have?
no electrical charge, because the number of electrons in the shell is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
4 of 10
what is the name of the number of protons in an atom?
proton number or atomic number
5 of 10
what is the mass number?
the number of nucleons (protons+neutrons)
6 of 10
what is the number of neutrons
mass number - proton number
7 of 10
what are isotopes?
different forms of the same element. same number of proton and different number of neutrons
8 of 10
what is a neutral atom?
has the same number of protons and electrons. they have a zero charge.
9 of 10
what do the number of electrons in the outer shell determine?
the way the atom behaves in chemical reactions
