Isotopes
֎ -:- Atoms of the same elements with different numbers of neutrons and
different masses
Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties?
֎ -:- Same number of electrons, number of neutrons has no effect on reactions
of an element
Relative isotopic mass
֎ -:- Mass of an isotope relative to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Relative atomic mass
֎ -:- The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with 1/12th
of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
