Isotopes and Relative Atomic Mass
You might have heard the term 'radioactive isotopes' mentioned on the news or by people worried about the environment. Sometimes we use radioactive isotopes to help treat cancer. But what is an isotope? In this unit you will find out what an isotope is. We will also see how to calculate the relative atomic mass of atoms, which measures how heavy atoms are relative to one another.
Have some fun and take the Interactive Quiz on Isotopes and then on Mass & Atomic numbers.
