Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Basic structure of the nucleus, 2. Atomic masses, isotopes, isobars, and isotones, 3. Discovery of neutron and neutron properties.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 93 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

What to Focus On

  • The nucleus contains more than 99.9% of the mass of an atom.
  • Nuclear radius is about 10^4 times smaller than atomic radius.
  • Nuclear volume is about 10^-12 of atomic volume.
  • Isotopes: same Z, different A or N.
  • Isobars: same A.
  • Isotones: same N, different Z.
  • Z = number of protons.
  • N = number of neutrons.
  • A = Z + N.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All atoms of the same element have the same mass.

Proton, neutron, and nucleon mean the same thing.

Isotopes, isobars, and isotones mean the same kind of nuclear species.

Memory Tips

Atom structure: tiny nucleus, large empty space, most mass in nucleus

Atomic mass unit definition

Isotopes, isobars, isotones

Hydrogen isotopes and proton
