- How are protons and neutrons similar? How are they different?arrow_forwardOne of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. How does this apply to Dalton’s atomic theory? Give examples.arrow_forwardFor each of the following sets of elements, label each as either noble gases, halogens, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, or transition metals. a. Ti, Fe, Ag b. Mg, Sr, Ba c. Li, K., Rb d. Ne, Kr, Xe e. F, Br, Iarrow_forward
- The element lithium (Li) has an atomic mass of 6.94 amu and has two naturally occurring istopic forms. Based on this information, indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false? a. All Li atoms have a mass of 6.94 amu. b. Some Li atoms have a mass of 6.94 amu. c. Some Li atoms have a mass of less than 6.94 amu. d. Some Li atoms have a mass of greater than 6.94 amu.arrow_forwardGive the symbol for an element that is: a a halogen; b an alkali metal; c a noble gas; d an alkaline earth metal.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is/are true? For the false statements, correct them. a. All particles in the nucleus of an atom are charged. b. The atom is best described as a uniform sphere of matter in which electrons are embedded. c. The mass of the nucleus is only a very small fraction of the mass of the entire atom. d. The volume of the nucleus is only a very small fraction of the total volume of the atom. e. The number of neutrons in a neutral atom must equal the number of electrons.arrow_forward
- How many protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus of each of the following atoms? For an atom of the element, how many electrons are present? a.2963Cu b.3580Br c.1224Mgarrow_forwardThe element copper (Cu) has an atomic mass of 63.55 amu and has two naturally occurring isotopic forms. Based on this information, indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false? a. All Cu atoms have a mass of 63.55 amu. b. Some Cu atoms have a mass of 63.55 amu. c. Some Cu atoms have a mass less than 63.55 amu. d. Some Cu atoms have a mass greater than 63.55 amu.arrow_forwardGive two examples of each: a. alkali metal b. alkaline earth metal c. halogen d. noble gas e. metal f. nonmetal g. transition metal h. metalloidarrow_forward
- Scientists are trying to synthesize elements with more than 114 protons. State the expected atomic number of (a) the newest inert gas. (b) the new element with properties similar to those of the alkaline earth metals. (c) the new element that will behave like the halogens. (d) the new (nontransition) metal whose ion will have a +2 charge. (e) the new element that will start period 8.arrow_forwardWrite isotope symbols for neutral atoms with the following characteristics: a. Contains 20 electrons and 20 neutrons b. Contains 1 electron and 2 neutrons c. A magnesium atom that contains 14 neutronsarrow_forwardWhat defines an element? How many naturally occurring elements exist?arrow_forward
