- Define mass number. What is the difference between mass number and atomic mass?arrow_forwardArgon has three naturally occurring isotopes: 0.3336% 36Ar, 0.063% 38Ar, and 99.60% 40Ar. Estimate the average atomic mass of argon. If the masses of the isotopes are 35.968 u, 37.963 u, and 39.962 u, respectively, calculate the average atomic mass of natural argon.arrow_forwardWhich particles account for most of an atom’s mass?arrow_forward
- The atomic masses in die periodic table are relative masses and average masses. Explain.arrow_forwardMatch these by placing the correct notation in the appropriate blank. 3467Se3367As3567Br3672Kr a. Contains 33 neutrons b. Contains greatest number of neutrons c. Contains equal number of protons and neutrons d. Contains the same number of neutrons as there are protons in As-67arrow_forwardHere 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)?arrow_forward
- If the volume of a proton is similar to the volume of an electron, how will the densities of these two particles compare to each other?arrow_forwardEarly tables of atomic weights (masses) were generated by measuring the mass of a substance that reacts with 1.00 g of oxygen. Given the following data and taking the atomic mass of hydrogen as 1.00, generate a table of relative atomic masses for oxygen, sodium, and magnesium. Element Mass That Combines with 1.00Oxygen Assumed Formula Hydrogen 0.126g HO Sodium 2.875g Nao Magnesium 1.500g Mgoarrow_forwardGive the complete symbol (XZA), including atomic number and mass number, of (a) a nickel atom with 31 neutrons, and (b) a tungsten atom with 110 neutrons.arrow_forward
