Answer 1

to prove/disprove/extend a theory

Question 2

What do A Z X represent in an atom

Answer 2

A - mass number Z - proton number X - symbol

Question 3

what are isotopes

Answer 3

Isotopes are atoms that contain the same number of protons but a different number of protons.

Question 4

Charge of a nucleus

Answer 4

number of protons x proton charge

Question 5

Mass of nucleus

Answer 5

number of nucleons x mass of nucleons

Question 6

What is specific charge

Answer 6

charge to mass ratio

Question 7

Specific charge (nucleus)

Answer 7

(number of electrons x electron charge)/(number of nucleons x nucleon charge)

Question 8

Specific charge (ion)

Answer 8

(electrons x electron charge)/(nucleons x nucleon charge) + (proton number - difference in electron count) x mass of electron.
