질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Subatomic Particles

Atoms are composed of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus and contribute to the atomic mass, while electrons are much lighter and orbit the nucleus. The number of protons defines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary, leading to different isotopes.

Isotopes

Isotopes are variants of a chemical element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, both helium-3 (³He) and tritium (³H) are isotopes of hydrogen, with ³He having two protons and one neutron, while ³H has one proton and two neutrons. This difference in neutron count affects their mass and stability.

Atomic Mass Calculation

The atomic mass of an isotope is calculated based on the sum of the masses of its subatomic particles. For ³He, the mass is derived from 2 protons and 1 neutron, while for ³H, it comes from 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Understanding how to calculate and compare these masses is essential for determining which isotope is more massive.
