answer
| 1; +1 |
question
| A neutron has a relative mass of __ and a relative charge of ____. |
answer
| 1;0 |
question
| An electron has a relative mass of __ and a relative charge of __. |
answer
| 1/1836; -1 |
question
| The nucleus is at the center of the atom and contains the protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are collectively known as |
answer
| nucleons |
question
| The atomic number of the atom is the number of |
answer
| protons |
question
| the mass number of the atom is |
answer
| the number of protons + the number of neutrons. Also called the nucleon number. |
question
| Isotopes |
answer
| atoms which have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. They have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. |
question
| Atoms are electrically neutral, and the positiveness of the protons is balanced by the negativeness of the electrons. It follows that in a neutral atom... |
answer
| the number of electrons equals the number of protons |
question
| The electrons are found at considerable distances from the nucleus in a series of levels called energy levels. Which level holds how many electrons? |
answer
| level 1- 2 electrons level 2- 8 electrons level 3- 8 electrons. Electrons will always go into the lowest possible energy level provided there is space. |
question
| Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle |
answer
| you can't know with certainty both where an electron is and where it's going next. That makes it impossible to plot an orbit for an electron around a nucleus |
question
| orbital |
answer
| the region of space in which an electron lives |
