|
Where is the mass of an atom located?
|
the number of protons plus the number of neutrons
|
|
Where is the atomic number of an element located?
|
the number of protons
|
|
What is an isotope?
|
Atoms which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, and therefore a different atomic mass.
|
|
What are ions?
|
Elements which have a different number of protons and electrons. (Not neutral).
|
|
What is a cation?
|
It is positively charged, and loses one or more electrons. (Metal).
|
|
What is an anion?
|
It is negatively charged, and has a gain of one or more electrons.(Nonmetal).
|
|
Atomic weight (mass) is what?
|
The weighted average mass of an element's atom (all isotopes).
|
|
an electronically neutral subatomic particle
|
neutron
|
|
a law stating that the mass of the substances produced in a reaction equals the mass of the substances produced in a reaction equals the mass of the substances that reacted
|
law of conservation of mass
|
|
a positively charged subatomic particle
|
proton
|
|
a member of one of the A groups of the elements in the periodic table
|
main group element
|
|
the average mass of an atom of an element, taking into account the masses and abundances of all the naturally occurring isotopes
|
relative atomic mass
|
|
the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom
|
mass number
|
|
an atom of an element with a specific number of neutrons
|
isotope
|
|
an ion with a positive charge
|
cation
|
|
any particle found within an atom
|
subatomic particle
|
|
any element in group IA (1)
|
alkali metal
|
|
a chart of all the known elements ordered by increasing atomic number and arranged in columns and rows to emphasize similar properties
|
the periodic table
|
|
explain why the mass of a carbon atom is about twice the mass of the protons in a carbon atom. What accounts for the difference in mass?
|
Carbon has 6 protons. The relative atomic mass of a carbon atom is 12.01 amu indicating the presence of 6 neutrons. Protons and neutrons have approximately equal masses so the nuclear mass is approximately two times the mass of the protons.
|
|
what is the atomic number for hydrogen, nitrogen, and mercury?
|
1, 7, 80
|
|
the number of which subatomic particle determines the identity of an element?
|
protons
|
|
what information do you need to determine the atomic number of an atom?
|
the number of protons
|
|
what is always the same for atoms of the same element?
|
atomic number
