Atomic Structure Flashcards
Which two atoms are the same in an element
proton and electron
relative mass of proton
1
relative charge of proton
+1
relative mass of neutron
1
relative charge of neutron
0
relative mass of electron
1/1840
relative charge of electron
-1
why are atoms electrically neutral
because the number of proton and neutron are the same and the charge for proton is +1 while electrons are-1.and the answer will always be the same unless its ISOTOPES
What is a nucleon number
the total number of neutron and proton in the atom
what is the electronic configuration
2.8.8.8
what is a noble gas electronic configuration
when the valence shell reaches its maximum shell
what is an ion
when an atom lost or gained electrons to become a charged particles to achieve stable electronic configuration
what are molecules
two or more atoms chemically combined
what is a molecule of element
two of the same atoms of the same type chemically combined
what are molecules of compound
a substance when two or more different elements chemically combined
