- 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_forwardThe element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: 109 Ag and 107Ag with a mass of 106.905 u. Silver consists of 51.82% 107Ag and has an average atomic mass of 107.868 u. Calculate the mass of 109Ag.arrow_forward
- Which particles account for most of an atom’s mass?arrow_forwardThe 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.

- Here 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_forwardIf 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.
