Q

How much does the nucleus weigh in percent vs the rest of the atom?

A

The nucleus is tiny, but ver very heavy. It takes up 99% of the atoms weigt.

17
Q

If H has an atomic mass of 8. 066, and an atomic number of 3, then how many neutrons does it have?

A

5 neutrons.

18
Q

What is the Isotope of an element?

A

2 atoms with othe same # of protons but with a diferent amount of neutrons

19
Q

If you had carbon 12 and Carbon 14, whats different about them?

A

They are Isotopes. Carbon 12 has 12 nuclei, but carbon 14 has 14 Nuclei

20
Q

Why is the atomic mass a decimal?

A

Because the atomic mass is the average mass of all isotopes.

21
Q

How many electrons does it take to equal 1 amu?

A

2,000 electrons = 1 A.M.U

22
Q

How is an element Identified?

A

By the number of protons. 2 atoms of the same element mus have the same # of protons, but the nuetron # can vary, thus creating Isotopes.

23
Q

Isotopes are identified by _____

A

the atomic mass

24
Q

The atomic # of Argon is 18. How many protons does it have?

A

18

25

Scandium has 21 protons. what is its atomic #?

A

21

26
Q

The atomic # of copper is 29. It’s mass number is 64. How protons / Neutrons does it have?

A

20 protons, and 35 neutrons.

27
Q

if Choromine’s mass # is 52, and it has 24 protons, how many nuetrons does it have?

A

28

28
Q

between mass # and atomic #, which one talks of only one atom?

A

mass number.
