Question
Answer
Proton (p)   Subatomic particle in nucleus of atom. Mass of 1. POSITIVE (+1) charge. No. of protons in atom = atomic no. of element = no. of electrons in atom. Elements are characterised by having a unique no. of protons and this determines place in periodic table.  
🗑
Neutron (n)   Subatomic particle in nucleus of atom. Mass of 1. NEUTRAL charge. No. of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number. Isotopes of elements have different no. of neutrons.  
🗑
Electron (e-)   Subatomic particle which ORBITS the nucleus of an atom. Mass of nearly 0 (smallest particle in atom). NEGATIVE (-1) charge. No. of electrons = no. of protons = atomic number as charges cancel each other out.  
🗑
Mass Number   Written at top left of element symbol. Sum of protons and neutrons in nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Atomic Number   Written on bottom left of element symbol. No. of protons in nucleus of an atom (N.B. also equal to no. of electrons). Elements are characterised by having a unique no. of protons/atomic number and this determines place in periodic table.  
🗑
Subatomic particle with positive charge   Proton  
🗑
Subatomic particle with neutral charge   Neutron  
🗑
Subatomic particle with negative charge   Electron  
🗑
Particles in the atomic nucleus   Protons and neutrons  
🗑
Subatomic particle with mass of 1   Protons and neutrons  
🗑
Subatomic particle with mass of nearly 0   Electron  
🗑
Atomic Structure   The structure of an atom which consists of a positively charged nucleus and negatively charged elections orbiting the nucleus  
🗑
Charge   Conserved property of certain subatomic particles that determine their electromagnetic interaction  
🗑
Isotope   A form of chemical element whose atomic nucleus contains a specific number of neutrons, in addition to the unique number of protons that define the element. Isotopes have the same no. of protons but a different no. of neutrons so a different atomic mass.  
🗑
Nuclear charge   Total charge of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus, same value as atomic number, increases as you go along the periodic table.  
🗑
Nucleus   Central part of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.  
🗑
Subatomic particle   Particles that make up an atom; protons, neutrons and electrons  
🗑
Element   Chemically the simplest of substances, consisting of atoms which all have the same number of protons. The no. of protons is unique to an element and determines it's place in the periodic table.  
🗑
Only element with 0 neutrons in it's commonly known state   Hydrogen  
🗑
Common isotopes of Hydrogen   Hydrogen (H1) Deuterium (H2), Tritium (H3) - UNSTABLE  
🗑
Common isotopes of Chlorine   Chlorine Cl 35.5, Cl 35, Cl 37  
🗑
Common Isotopes of Bromine   Bromine Br80, Br79, Br81  
🗑
Common Isotopes of Carbon   Carbon C12, C13, C14 UNSTABLE and radio-active  
🗑
Atom   The smallest object that retains properties of an element. Composed of electrons and a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons). Defining structure of an element.  
🗑
