36
New cards

what is the atomic mass?

the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons)

37
New cards

what is atomic number?

39
New cards

do we consider electrons (both charge and mass) in specific charge equations?

no,

  • negligible mass (as they’re much smaller

  • only considering the nucleus (otherwise there would be no total charge for a stable atom)
