Q

What are the main features of an atoms structure?

A
  • Protons+Neutrons make up the nucleus.
  • Nucleus is tiny compared with the total volume of an atom.
  • Nucleus is extremely dense and makes up almost all of the atoms mas.
  • Most of an atom consists of empty space between the tiny nucleus and and the electron shells.

Q

When measuring atoms masses by comparing them to carbon-12, what assumptions have been made?

A
  • We have neglected the tiny contribution that electrons make to the mass of an atom.
  • We have taken the masses of both a proton and a neutron as 1.0u.

Q

What does the weighted mean mass mean?

A

Most elements contain a mixture of isotopes, each in a different amount and with a different mass. We use the term “weighted mean mass” to account for the contribution made by each isotope to the overall mass of an element.
