Layout of an element (mass # & atomic #) - ANSWER
atomic number = - ANSWER # of protons
mass number = - ANSWER # of protons + neutrons
the number of protons in a neutral atom will equal the - ANSWER # of electrons
how to find the correct number of neutrons - ANSWER mass number - atomic
number
Forms of the same elements that differ in amount of neutrons - ANSWER isotopes
What particle, if lost from the nucleus, would NOT cause a change in the atomic
number? - ANSWER a neutron because it has no charge
When alpha particles were shot at a metal foil target, most passed through without
deflections, while others deflected at large angles. What did this suggest to
Rutherford? - ANSWER that the atoms of the metal were mostly empty space,
while the nucleus consisted of most of the mass which included highly condensed
positive particles (which caused the deflection).

periodic table does it belong? - ANSWER IA
alkali metals
electromagnetic spectrum - ANSWER
The greater the wavelength of a photon..? - ANSWER the lower its frequency
