how do you calculate the mass of an atom when given the exact masses of each fundamental particle?

add the masses of the proton and electron together

8
New cards

what is an isotope?

two atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons

9
New cards

why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties?

  • isotopes have the same electron configuration

  • chemical properties depend on the number of (outer) electrons
