| Question | Answer | 
| Mass numbers are not whole numbers as... | They are a more accurate way of showing a variety of mass numbers | 
| Isotope | The different form of an element with different numbers of neutrons | 
| Carbon-12 and carbon-13 occur | 98.9% and 1.1% | 
| Carbon-14 breaks down through radioactive decay to form | Nitrogen an electron and electromagnetic radiation | 
| Relative atomic mass | The average mass of isotopes of an element according to their rarity | 
| Periodic table shows relative atomic mass to... | 2 decimal places | 
| Neil's Bohr | Concluded that electrons orbit the nucleus in certain distances | 
| Electron shells | Are orbits in which electrons are located around a nucleus according to their energy | 
| Bohr Model | A model proposed by Neil's Bohr in which electrons orbit in energy levels | 
| Electron configuration | Arrangement of electrons around around an atom | 
| In the first 20 elements.. | They 3rd she'll can accommodate 8 whilst higher ones accommodate 18 | 
| Maximum number of electrons a shell can hold is | 2nsquared n=number of shells from nucleus | 
| The closer the electrons are... | The more stable | 
| She'll diagrams | Show electron configuration by shells in circles and electrons in pairs | 
| Valence Shell | The outermost unoccupied shell | 
| Emission Spectrum | Pattern of colours seen an element is placed under a spectroscope | 
| Why does emission spectrum occur. | When element is placed under flame electrons jump up a shell and every jump releases light in different wavelengths. |
