The Atom and Periodic Table
Why is the mass number a decimal?
- Mass Number is the weighted average of all the isotopes of an atom - The isotope whom mass number is closest to the actual mass number is more abundant
How do I find items?
- Number of Protons = Atomic Number - Number of Electrons = Number of Protons (Because Atoms are neutral which means positive equals negative) - Number of Neutrons = Mass Number subtract Atomic Number
