There is 3 different type of Subatomic Particles in an element
Proton: Large with positive chargeElectron: Small with negative chargeNeutron: Large with no charge
Moreover:
"# of Atomic number = # of Proton = # of Electron"
"# of Neutron = Atomic mass - Atomic number/ Proton/ Electron"
Let's do some excerises:
Carbon:
Atomic number : 6 = Proton : 6 = Electron : 6 Atomic Mass: 12
Neutron: 12 - 6 = "6"
Rutherium:
Atomic number: 44 = Proton: 44 = Electron: 44 Atomic Mass: 101
Neutron: 101 - 44 = "57"
Bromine:
Atomic nimber: 18 = Proton: 18 = Electron: 18 Atomic Mass: 80
Neutron: 80 - 18 = "62"
Isotope is an atomic specie that has the same atomic number with different atomic mass.
It has shown that Carbon has different Atomic mass as 12, 13, 14
So that we can indicate them as Carbon - 13, Carbon - 14Why dont we take a look this video to see how's isotope practice works?
