Calculating the Protons, Neutrons and Electrons for an Atom

 Subtracting the atomic number (found on a periodic table) from the given mass number determines the number of neutrons. 

 Correct, this isotope of Cl has 18 neutrons. 

 The sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an atom is called the mass number. 

 Which of the following has the largest number of neutrons? 

 Atoms contain an equal number of protons and neutrons. 

 Some isotopes have equal numbers of protons and neutrons but many do not. 

 Protons, found in the nucleus of an atom, have no net charge. 

 The charge on protons causes the repulsion of the alpha particles in Rutherford's experiment. 

 Electrons, found outside the nucleus, have a positive charge. 

 The positive charge of the atom is contained in the nucleus. 

 Neutrons, found in the nucleus, have a neutral charge. 

 Correct, the name "neutron" is derived from the term "neutral". 

 Protons, neutrons, and electrons all have similar masses. 

 Only two of the types of subatomic particles have similar masses.

The Oil Drop Experiment helped with determining the fundamental charge of the electron.&nbsp;

Ions

Ions represent elements that possess either a positive charge or a negative charge.&nbsp;

The Periodic Table contains 3 Major Classifications when describing its elements

Isotopes

Isotopes are atoms of an element that have the same atomic number, but different mass number.&nbsp;

The Atom

Mole Concept

The Mole Concept involves the interconversions between different unit amounts of a substance.
