New cards

Define isotopes

Atoms with the same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons.

2
New cards

Why do isotopes of the same have the same chemical properties?

Because chemical properties are defined by the number of eletrons in the energy shells( same electronic configuration) not the the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

3
New cards

The formula for calculation relative atomic mass

AR=( isotope 1 mass * isotope 1 abundance)+ ( isotope 2 mass * isotope 2 abundance) / 100

4
New cards

Define realtive atomic mass

The average mass of isotopes of the same element compared to 1/12^th of the mass of a C^12
