What are isotopes? (2.1.1a)
Isotopes are
The word isotope is used for different atoms of the same element that occupy the
same position in the Periodic table. We can describe an isotope using two numbers:
Atomic Number =
Mass Number =
These numbers are written on the symbol of the isotope.
Using your data sheet, complete this
diagram with the correct position of the
Mass number, A (protons + neutrons),
and Atomic number, Z (protons).
