isotopes are…
atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
give two properties of isotopes
• similar chemical properties * same electronic structure
relative isotopic mass is …
the mass of one isotope compared to one twelfth of the mass of one atom of carbon 12
relative atomic mass is …
the average mass of an atom compared to one twelfth of the mass of one atom of carbon 12
relative molecular mass is …
the average mass of a molecule compared to one twelfth of the mass on one atom of carbon 12
give the names, relative masses and relative charges of the three sub atomic particles
proton 1 +1 neutron 1 0 electron 1/1800 -1
calculating relative atomic mass with % abundance
isotopic mass x % abundance / 100
calculating relative atomic mass with relative abundance
isotopic mass x relative abundance / total relative abundance
calculating relative abundance
rearrange this equation relative atomic mass = (isotopic mass x X) + (isotopic mass x 100-X) / 100
