Compare: The mass number of C-12 is 12, a value representing the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Since both protons and neutrons have masses that are just over 1 u, the mass number will typically be very close to the atom’s mass. Add a few atoms each of C-12 and C-13 to the chamber, press Release atoms, and then click on the bars of the graph to reveal a close-up image of each isotope. 1. How does the proton number in each isotope compare?
2. How does the neutron number in each compare?
3. What can you conclude about the role of neutrons in forming new isotopes?

Movement that is like a t a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. transfers energy from one location to another a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave
