16
Q

where is atomic mass

A

bottom decimal number

17
Q

how to find mas number

A

rounded atomic mass/ p+n

18
Q

iin carbon-12, what is the mass number

A

12

19
Q

how is nuclear notation written

A

mass number on top, atomic number on bottom, element symbol

20
Q

how to find number of neutrons

A

mass number-atomic number

21
Q

what are isotopes

A

atoms with the same element, but differnt mass number (differnt top nummber in nuclear notation)

22
Q

how do u know if an isotope is radioactive

A

if the atomic number is more than 83

23
Q

what are cations

A

positively charged ions that have lost one or more electrons

24
Q

where does a cations charge come from

A

how many electrons are being added

25
Q

what are anions

A

negatively charged ions which have gained 1 or more electrons

26
Q

where does a anions charge come from

A

how many electrons being taken away

27
Q

what number in the atom changes with isotopes

A

neutrons

28
Q

what do letters represent

A

symbol

29
Q

how to find mass number from atomic number and neutrons

A

add them

30
Q

what do u do when given both isotope info

A

put percent behind decimal and calculate normal

31
Q

what if only 1 istope is given

A

subtract the percent from 100, and then put the answer behind the decimal point
