THIS is the definition of an isotope
What are, "Two or more atoms of the same element that have different masses?"
200
Using the Periodic Table, THIS indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom?
What is "the atomic number?"
200
THIS is what constitutes an beta particle.
What is, an electron (that is ejected from a nucleus)
200
This is the charge of halogen compounds.
What is "1-?"
300
This is a drawing of the Bohr model for Phosphorous
see the board - 2 inner shell, 8 middle, 5 valence, 15 protons, 16 neutrons
300
This is the reason that some isotopes are unstable and undergo radioactive decay.
What is, the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus are not balanced/do not have a stable ratio?
300
THIS is what you call the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom (based on the Bohr model)
What are valence electrons?
300
In beta decay, THIS is why the particle changes to a new atom.
What is, a beta particle changes a neutron into a proton?
300
When naming ionic compounds, you say this portion first
What is, "the cation?"
400
This is how much of a 10g sample would be left if it has a half life of 1 day and has been left out for 3 days.
What is 2.5g?
400
When unstable isotopes undergo radioactive decay, they emit particles. These are the three particles that can be emitted during the process of radioactive decay.
What are, "alpha particles, beta particles, gamma particles"
400
THIS is the element found in Period 5 and Group 6 of the periodic table, and THIS is the family that it is in.
Molybdenum, transition metal.
