A neon atom has a total of ten electrons and is very unreactive. What accounts for this lack of reactivity? O Neon is a gas. O All electrons are paired in a neon atom. OTen is an even number of electrons. Its outermost electron shell is full. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neon atom.

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT: isotopes of an element have the same atomic number. for any neutral element, the number of protons and electrons are equal. all atoms of a given element have the same mass number. the atomic number equals the number of protons. the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.

Adding one proton to the nucleus of an atom does not change either its atomic number or its atomic mass. increases its atomic number by one unit but does not change its atomic mass. converts it to an isotope of the same element. converts it to an atom of a different element.
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in the following: 40 18 X O p = 18 n° = 18 e² = 22 O pt = 18 n° = 22 e² = 18 O pt = 22 n° = 18 e = 18 pt = 18 n° = 22 e² = 40 O pt = 40 n° = 22 e² = 18
Look up the density of silicon and of lead in a table online. Then look up the atomic radius of silicon and lead . Then look up the atomic mass of each element (periodic table of elements). Use the atomic mass and atomic radius of each element to make an argument about density. Based on the atomic radii and atomic mass data, which element would be the most dense. Is that expectation consistent with actual density data? Use the definition of density to support your argument.
Which of the following statements are true concerning the core charge of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. a. The core charge would change because the number of neutrons are changed in these isotopes of carbon b. The core charge would remain the same since the number of protons changed with the number of electrons c. The core charge would be 12, 13, and 14 respectively for these isotopes of carbon d. The core charge can never change for any element, since the number of protons and number of core electrons are constant for any element
