2.1.1 Atomic Structure: Acceptable Answer Mark Additional Guidance

This document summarizes key information about atomic structure: 1) Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to similar chemical properties but varying physical properties due to different masses. 2) The relative atomic composition of naturally occurring copper isotopes can be calculated from the known isotopic abundances. 3) Chemical properties depend on electronic configuration while physical properties like mass spectrometry peaks depend on the actual nucleus including neutrons.
