Differentiate between the following:


1. Accuracy .vs. Precision

2. Mass Number .vs. Atomic Mass

Accuracy - How close a measured value is to the actual value

Precision - How close a series of measurements are to one another 

Mass Number - Sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom

Atomic Mass - Average mass of atoms of an element; Based on relative abundance of isotopes

Name the four parts of Dalton's atomic model

  1. Each element is composed of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms.

  3. Atoms combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form compounds.

  4. Atoms of one element cannot change into atoms of another element
