The document provides information about the structure of atoms, including: 1) The three main subatomic particles that make up atoms are protons, neutrons, and electrons. 2) Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in their number of neutrons. 3) The atomic number identifies the number of protons in an atom, while the mass number provides the total number of protons and neutrons.

21. 4.What structural characteristics
do all hydrogen atoms have in
common?
They have the same atomic
number
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

22. 5. What structural
characteristics do all carbon
atoms have in common?
They have the same atomic number
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

23. 6. What does the mass number
tell you?
It tells the number of protons and neutrons in an atom
Can you find it on the periodic table
Yes, it is only express in atomic mass
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

24. 7.What doe the atomic number tell
you?
Yes.
It tells the number of protons in an atom.
Can you find it in the periodic table?
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

25. 8. Define the term isotope.
Isotopes is an atom having the same
atomic number but differ in mass
number.
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

26. 9. How does one isotope of
carbon differ from another
isotope of carbon?
One isotope of carbon is differ in the
number of neutrons from the other
isotope of carbon.
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

27. IsotopesThe atoms of an element
having the same atomic
number but different mass
number due to difference
in the number of neutrons

28. Mass Number
It refers to the sum of
the numbers of
protons and neutrons
in an atom

29. Atomic Number
It is a unique number of
each element that
corresponds to the
number of protons
