isotopes
atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and electrons but different neutrons
what do the different neutrons give isotopes
different properties
what does the same number of electrons give isotopes
same chemical properties
relative atomic mass
average value that takes into account the abundance of isotopes for that element
formula for ram
relative atomic mass = (isotope 1 x abundance) / (isotope 2 x abundance)
