Electrolytes( mineral salt )
electron=#proton
atom is electrically neutral
The electron of the outermost shell
Valence electron
Third shell will hold 18 electron only if what?
only in atom has 4 more shells
only one electron shell and one electron. tend to react with other atoms that provide another electron and fill this hell with a stable number of two electron.
Hydrogen
all elements have varieties. differ from one another only in number of neutrons and therefor in atomic mass.
(different neutrons and slightly different mass)
Isotope
2H(deuterium), 3H(tritium),
many of isotopes are unstable and decay to more stave isotopes by giving off radiation.
unstable isotope called ?
radioisotope
process of decay is called?
radioactivity
ejects electron from atoms, converting atoms to ions?
It destroys morellos and produces dangerous free radicals and ions in human tissue.
Ionizing radiation
The time required for 50% of its atoms to decay to amore stable state.
physical half-life
The_______ of a radioisotope is the time required for half of it to disappear from the body.
biological half- life
____ are charged particles with unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
Ions
Elements with ___ to ___ valence electrons tend to give them up, and ___ to ___ electrons tend to gain more.
one to three
four to seven
salt that ionize in water and form solutions capable of conducting electricity.
