Do the proton and the neutron have exactly the same mass? How do the masses of the proton and the neutron compare to the mass of the electron? Which particles make the greatest contribution W the mass of an atom? Which particles make the greatest contribution to the chemical properties of an atom?
An element consists of 1.40% of an isotope with mass 203.973 u, 24.10% of an isotope with mass 205.9745 u, 22.10% of an isotope with mass 206.9759 u, and 52.40% of an isotope with mass 207.Y766 u. Calculate the average atomic mass, and identify the element.
In what way are isotopes of a given element always different? In what way(s) are they always the same?
How many Ag atoms are present in a piece of pure silver jewelry weighing 21.3 g?
It is good practice to actively read the textbook and to try to verify claims that are made when you can. The following claim is made in your textbook: “. . . if the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be about 1 mile away on average.” Provide mathematical support for this statement.
One of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. Does this apply to Daltons atomic theory? Give examples.
2.87 What is the heaviest element to have an atomic weight that is roughly twice its atomic number? What does this suggest must he true about the nuclei of atoms with higher atomic numbers?
An atom has a very small nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud. Figure 2.1 represents the nucleus with a diameter of about 2 mm and describes the electron cloud as extending over 200 m. If the diameter of an atom is 1 10-8 cm, what is the approximate diameter of its nucleus?
An average atomic nucleus has a diameter of about m.
How would you expect the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element to compare to each other? Explain your answer.
Here are three fictitious elements and a molecular view of the atoms that compose them. The molar mass of the middle element, (b), is 25 grams per dozen (g/doz). (The atoms of these fictitious elements are much larger than ordinary atoms.) Based on the size of the atoms, do you expect the atomic masses of elements (a) and (c) to be greater than or less than (b)? How many atoms are present in 175 g of element (b)?
