  • Electrons can absorb EM radiation and move to higher energy levels
  • Electrons can emit EM radiation and move down energy levels
  • Mass number - The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
  • Atomic number - number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
  • Isotope - atom of the same element with same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
