Which of the following sentences are correct? 1. Atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of an element. 2. If given the individual isotopes and their abundances, atomic mass can be calculated. 3. Alternatively, and more quickly, it can be found by looking on a periodic table.

Scientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?

The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. Naturally occurring boron consists of two isotopes with accurately known masses ( 10B, 10.0129 amu and 11B, 11.0931 amu). The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.8 19, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the United States. Calculate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.
Chlorine has two natural isotopes: C1737I and C1735I. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound HCI. Would a given amount of hydrogen react with different masses of the two chlorine isotopes? Does this conflict with the law of definite proportion? Why or why not?
