Ms. Knick HAHS IONS AND ISOTOPES
An atom with a charge. Two types: Cation = positively charged (Example: Mg 2+ ) Anion = negatively charged (Example: F -1 ) IONS
The charge of an atom affects the number of electrons. Cations are positive. They are loosing electrons and thereby are becoming MORE POSITIVE. Anions are negative. They are gaining electrons and thereby are becoming MORE NEGATIVE. IONS AND ELECTRONS
How many protons, electrons, and neutrons? O 2- Al 3+ F - Mg 2+ EXAMPLE
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As a result, isotopes of the same element have a different atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass, is a decimal number. The atomic mass is an average of all isotopes of a particular element. ISOTOPES
