Atomic Structure Study Guide
 Distinguish between the 3 subatomic particles
 charge
 location
 relative charge
 relative mass
 Use symbols A & Z
 Distinguish between isotopes using nuclear symbol and hyphen notation
 Identify isotopes using mass number and atomic number and relate to the
number of protons, neutrons and electrons
 Differentiate average atomic mass of an element from the actual isotopic
mass and mass number of specific isotopes.
 Distinguish between atoms and ions
 Know the name for a positively charge and negatively charged ion.
 Explain the formation of ions.
 Instrument used in the discovery of electrons
 Scientist who discovered the nucleus
