Atomic Structure & Periodic Table

Key Points

  • Atomic number = protons = electrons (neutral atom)
  • Mass number = protons + neutrons
  • Isotopes: same Z, different A (different neutron count)
  • Atomic radius decreases across period, increases down group
  • Ionisation energy increases across period, decreases down group
