Document Summary

N all matter is composed of atoms j protons, neutrons, and electrons. N the mass of a proton serves as a standard unit of measure called the atomic mass unit or dalton (1. 7e-24 g) N an element is a pure substance that contains only one kind of atom. N 98% of the mass of a living organism is composed of six elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur. N atomic number j number of protons in an atom. N mass number j the total composition of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. N atomic weight j average of mass numbers of isotopes in their normally occurring proportions. N radioisotopes are unstable isotopes, and thus spontaneously give off energy in the form of. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. N the radioactive decay transforms the atom, including the atomic number.
