Atom A has a larger atomic mass than atom B. Does this mean that atom A also has a larger atomic number? Explain.
Boron has two naturally occurring isotopes, boron-10, andboron-11. Boron-10 has a mass of 10.0129 relative tocarbon-12 and makes up 19.78 percent of all naturallyoccurring boron. Boron-11 has a mass of 11.00931 comparedto carbon-12 and makes up the remaining 80.22 percent. What isthe atomic weight of boron?
Elements that appear in the same column of the periodic table
often share similar chemical properties. In the case of the
alkaline earth metals, this is troublesome since the body treats
calcium (necessary for proper bone growth) and radium (a
radioactive element) as chemically similar, storing both in
bone marrow. The radium then bombards nearby bone cells
with alpha particles, causing them to "crumble."
Radium poisoning investigations often center on the
identification of radium and its isotopes in bone samples using

a mass spectrometer. Pictured is a schematic of a simplified
mass spectrometer that shows the paths of calcium isotopes,
barium (another alkaline earth metal) isotopes, and radium
isotopes entering the chamber. The region shown is immersed
in a constant magnetic field of 0.552 T pointing out of the
