atomic number, electron number, mass number and isotopes

Atomic number,

electron number, mass

number, and isotopes

are positively charged (+1)

Atoms of the same element will have:

- the same number of protons

- the same number of electrons as protons atomic number

are negatively charged (-1)

Atoms have no overall charge; they are neutral.

mass number = +

Atoms can have different numbers of neutrons.

Proton Neutron Electron

Charge +1 0 -1

Mass 1 1 0.0005

Review

The atomic number (proton number) defines atoms.

Atoms are neutral

• Same number of protons and electrons

The mass number = #protons + #neutrons

• Neutron number can vary without changing atom type

• Atoms with different neutron numbers (mass numbers)

are called isotopes
