1. Define the following terms

Proton:

Neutron:

Isotope:

Atomic Mass:

Radioactive:

Natural Abundance:

Proton: postiviely charged subatomic particle in nucleus of atom, responsable for atomic number of substance, used with neutrons to find atomic mass.

Neutron: neutral charged subatomic particle in nucleus of atom, used with protons to find atomic mass, differences between atoms with same number of protons but different neutrons result in isotopes.

Isotope: atoms with different numbers of neutrons and atomic masses, but same number of protons

Atomic mass: number of protons and number of neutrons

Radioactive: unstable isotopes release ionized particles as nucleus decays

Natural abundance: relative comparison of isotopes as they occur in nature
