- 2—Electrons orbit the nucleus
Nucleus contains portons and neutrons - 3An electron has a negative charge and its mass is 1/2000 A proton has a positive charge and has a mass of 1 a neutron has no charge but also has a mass of 1Mass number is the no. of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
The atomic number is the no.of protons which=no.of e - 4Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different no. of neutronsHeavier isotopes have a slightly higher mp and bp.
Carbon 14 is radioactive and used for carbon dating
