Atoms and Isotopes

If the atomic number is carbon is 6 and the mass number is 12 and the number of neutrons is 6 then what is the hyphen notation of carbon?

12

How many neutrons, protons, and electrons are in carbon if the mass number is 12?

6

Where is the electron located?

Around the nucleus

What is an Isotope?

Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers

Where is the protons and neutrons located?

Inside the Nucleus

Why can't you change the number of protons?

It will change the substance

Nuclear Force (aka "strong force")

Keeps the nucleus from breaking apart About 100's stronger than electromagnetic force

What charge does electrons have?

Negative charge

What charge does neutrons have?

Neutral charge

What's equal in an Atom?

Nucleus and Electrons

Atomic number

Number of protons

What does the mass in an element equal to?

Number of protons and neutrons

Electromagnetic Force

Opposites attract Keeps the electrons near nucleus

What charge does protons have?

Positive charge

What's equal in a Neutral Atom?

Protons and Electrons

What's equal in a nucleus?

Protons and Neutrons

What makes up the mass number?

Protons and Neutrons because they have nearly all of the mass together?

What does the Atomic number equal?

The number of electrons in a neutral atom because positive protons equals negative electrons

What does the valance electrons tells you on the shell?

The number of electrons on the third ring

What does the periods (row) tells you?

The number of shells (energy levels)

What does the group number (1-8) tells you?

The number of valance electrons (electrons on the outside shell)
