atom
smallest part of element
behaves like the element
unique
sub-atomic particles
NB relative scale.
very little mass or charge
M: Mass number
P + N
A: Atomic Number
P
E: Element
isotope
protons
same number
neutrons
different numbers
chemical properties
same
physical properties
slightly different

Ar
The average mass of a mole of atomsof an element on a scale where the massof a carbon atom is 12 units
average mass
1 mole
element
carbon 12 atom = 12 units
moles = mass/Ar
example
chlorine 2 isotopes : 75% Chlorine 35, 25% Chlorine 37. Ar= 35.5
