Atomic Terminology Practice II.

  1. What are the atomic number and atomic mass number of a fluorine atom with 9 protons and 10 neutrons? If we could add a proton to this fluorine nucleus, would the result still be fluorine? What if we added a neutron to the fluorine nucleus? Explain.
  2. The most common isotope of gold has atomic number 79 and atomic mass number 197. How many protons and neutrons does the gold nucleus contain? If the isotope is electrically neutral, how many electrons does it have? If it is triply ionized, how many electrons does it have?
  3. Uranium has atomic number 92. Its most common isotope is  238 U , but the form used in nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants is  235 U . How many neutrons are in each of these two isotopes of uranium?

What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic weight? Select one: a. Atomic mass is the average of the atomic masses of an atom's naturally occurring isotopes, whereas atomic weight is the weight of an individual atom. b. Atomic mass is the mass of an individual atom, whereas atomic weight is the average (weighted) of the atomic masses of an atom's naturally occurring isotopes. C. Atomic weight = Atomic mass x g. d. Atomic mass is characterized by the number of neutrons in the nucleus, whereas atomic weight is the weight of an individual atom. e. Atomic mass is characterized by the number of protons in the nucleus, whereas atomic weight is the average (weighted) of the atomic masses of an atom's naturally occurring isotopes.
This is not graded. Do numbers 11 and 12.
