Elements, isotopes & relative atomic mass

Cards (4)

  • Element
    Substance made up of one type of atom
  • Isotope
    Different forms oof the same element, which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
  • Relative atomic mass
    Average mass of all the isotopes of an element
  • What is the formula for relative atomic mass (Ar)
    Ar= Sum of (Isotope abundance × Isotope mass number)/sum of abundances of all isotopes
