Term
|
Definition
| An atom or group of atoms that has either gained or lost electrons and so has an electrical charge |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One of two or more forms of a single element; the atoms of each isotope have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Thus isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in atomic mass. |
