STRUCTURE OF ATOM AND NUCLEUS HOW MANY ELECTRONS CAN BE IN A SHELL? HOW ARE THE SHELLS NAMED?
WHAT IS MEANT BY ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBER? ATOMIC NUMBER IS NUMBER OF PROTONS – SYMBOL IS ‘A’ MASS NUMBER IS NUMBER OF PROTONS AND NEUTRONS – ‘Z’ WHAT IS MEANT BY NUCLEONS?
IF ATOM UNDERGOES A CHEMICAL CHANGE – THERE IS A CHANGE IN NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IN THE ATOM - ENERGY IS FEW ELECTRON VOLTS NUCLEAR CHANGE – THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF NUCLEONS INSIDE THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM - ENERGY IS FEW MEGA OR MILLION ELECTRON VOLTS (MeV)
ISOTOPES ISOBARS ISOTONES ATOMS OF THE SAME ELEMENT ATOMS OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS ATOMS HAVING same atomic number Z different mass number A same mass number A different atomic number Z different number of protons same number of neutrons WHAT ARE THE TWO KINDS OF ISOTOPES? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NUMBER OF NEUTRONS EXCEED THE NUMBER OF PROTONS?
