Why do isotopes have different masses? rozpocznij naukę
|
|
Because they contain different numbers of neutrons
|
|
|

|
|
|
What is relative atomic mass? rozpocznij naukę
|
|
The average mass of all the isotopes of an element
|
|
|
How is relative atomic mass calculated? rozpocznij naukę
|
|
Sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass) / total abundance

|
|
What is an electron configuration? rozpocznij naukę
|
|
The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus
|
|
|
Why are full outer shells important? rozpocznij naukę
|
|
Atoms are more stable when their outer shell is full
|
|
|
Why are noble gases unreactive? rozpocznij naukę
|
|
They already have full outer electron shells
