Question 5

Atomic number

Answer 5

The # of protons in the nucleus of an atom

Question 6

Atoms have no overall charge T/F

Answer 6

T

Question 7

The # of protons = the # of electrons when it comes to the atomic number T/F

Answer 7

Question 8

How do you find how many neutrons are in an atom?

Answer 8

The mass (amu) is a sum of neutrons and protons. Subtract the number of protons by the atomic number to get how many neutrons there are

Question 9

What is amu?

Answer 9

Atomic mass unit, the standard measurement of weighting an atom

Question 10

Isotopes

Answer 10

Atoms that have a different charge/mass #. Element itself is the same but the mass (top #) changes.

Question 11

The equation of atomic weight

Answer 11

The sum of [(isotope mass)(fractional natural abundance in decimal)]

Question 12

The bottom left number on subscript of an atomic refers to the

Answer 12

Atomic number (# of protons OR electrons)

Question 13

The top left number on the subscript of an atom refers to

Answer 13

Mass (amu), # of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

Question 14

Cations are ions where the atoms lost/gained electrons

Answer 14

Lost electrons, now has a positive charge

Question 15

Anions are ions where atoms gain/lost electrons

Answer 15

Gained electron, now has a negative charge

Question 16

Elements on a periodic table are arranged by ______
