Ok class, so today we are going to learn about the isotope notation.
Okayyy madam
What is the definition of proton number. Can Amy answer ?
Proton number is the numbers of proton in the nucleus of an atom
How about nucleon numbers Farhanah
Nucleon numbers is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
Isotope is two or more element that have the same number of protons but different number of neutron in their nucleus.
Now I will give you example of notation.
Now we will learn about the charges. An anion is an ion with a negative charge while cation is an ion with a positive charge
nucleon number = proton number + neutron number
Here are some reminders, nucleon number can change because of changes of number of neutrons.
Also if we have a charge, we need to donate or accept eceltrons depends on cation or anion element have. So electron number need to change according to the charge.
Okayyy madamm, we understand
21 Ne protons:10 10 electrons:10neutrons:21-10=11 nucleons:21
