(a)
Interpretation:
The terms, atom and subatomic particle are to be distinguished precisely.
Concept introduction:
Dalton realized that the Law of Conservation of Mass, the Law of Definite Composition and the Law of Multiple Proportions could be explained if matter was considered to be made up of indivisible particles called atoms.

Answer to Problem 51E
Matter is made up of atom while atoms are made up of subatomic particles.
Explanation of Solution
Matter is made up of basic units termed as atoms. Subatomic particles are those particles whose size is smaller than the atom. Neutrons, electrons and protons are present within an atom. Therefore, all of them are subatomic particles. Therefore, an atom is made up of subatomic particles.
Matter consists of atoms while atom consists of subatomic particles.
(b)
Interpretation:
The terms, electron, proton, and neutron are to be distinguished precisely.
Concept introduction:
An atom is made up of three subatomic particles-neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutron and protons are present in the nucleus of the atom, whereas electrons are revolving outside the nucleus in an atom. In a neutral atom number of electrons and the number of protons are equal.

Answer to Problem 51E
Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge.
Explanation of Solution
Dalton’s atomic theory
Negatively charged subatomic particles are termed as electrons. Positively charged subatomic particles are termed as protons. Subatomic particles which have no charge are termed as neutrons.
(c)
Interpretation:
The terms, nuclear model of the atom, and nucleus are to be distinguished precisely.
Concept introduction:
The nuclear model of an atom is a result of Rutherford’s scattering experiment. In the nuclear model, the proton and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom. They make up almost the entire mass of the atom.

Answer to Problem 51E
Nucleus is the positively charged core of the atom located at the center of the atom. Nuclear model of an atom describes the complete structure of the atom including the nucleus.
Explanation of Solution
The nuclear model of the atom is a result of Rutherford’s scattering experiments to determine the structure of an atom. According to the nuclear model of an atom, atoms consist of a positively charged dense nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons which move in an orbit around the nucleus. The nucleus is the positively charged core of the atom. Therefore, nuclear model of the atom describes the entire structure of the atom while the term nucleus is used to define the positively charged core of the atom around which electrons rotate in an orbit.
The positively charged core of the electron located at the center of the atom is termed as nucleus of the atom. The complete structure of the atom, along with the nucleus is explained by the nuclear model of an atom.

Concept introduction:
An atom is made up of three subatomic particles-neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutron and protons are present in the nucleus of the atom, whereas electrons are revolving outside the nucleus in an atom. In a neutral atom number of electrons and the number of protons are equal.

Answer to Problem 51E
The atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons present in an atom of the element. The mass number of an element is equal to the sum of the neutrons and protons present in the atom of the element.
Explanation of Solution
Dalton’s atomic theory states that matter is made up of indivisible atoms. The invention of the battery led to investigations which paved the way for doubts about the indivisibility of atoms. It was later proved that subatomic particles called neutrons, electrons and protons are present within an atom. The number of protons of an element is equal to its atomic number. The sum of the number of protons and neutrons is equal to the mass number of the element.
The total number of protons and neutrons of an element is equal to its mass number. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element.

Concept introduction:
Elements are made up of the same type of atoms. An atom is made up of three subatomic particles-neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutron and protons are present in the nucleus of the atom, whereas electrons are revolving outside the nucleus in an atom. In a neutral atom number of electrons and the number of protons are equal.

Answer to Problem 51E
The short notation for the scientific or Latin name of an element is termed as the chemical symbol of an element. When the chemical symbol is accompanied by the mass number and atomic number as superscript and subscript, it is known as the nuclear symbol of the element.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical symbol of an element is a short notation for the scientific name of the element. The chemical symbol is sometimes derived from the Latin name of an element.
The nuclear symbol consists of the chemical symbol with the mass number of the element as a superscript and the atomic number of the element as the subscript. For example, the chemical symbol of helium is
The chemical symbol is a short notation for the scientific or Latin name of the element. The nuclear symbol consists of the mass number and atomic number along with the chemical symbol.

Atomic mass is the average of masses of all the natural isotopes of the element. Atomic mass unit is a unit of mass.
Explanation of Solution
The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of all the natural isotopes of the element. One atom of carbon
The average of masses of all the natural isotopes of the element is termed as atomic mass. Atomic mass unit is a unit of mass.

Answer to Problem 51E
Atomic mass of an element is defined as the average of masses of all the natural isotopes of the element. Atomic mass of an isotope refers to the mass of the atom of that isotope.
Explanation of Solution
The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of all the natural isotopes of the element. The atomic mass of an isotope is the mass of an atom of that particular isotope. The term atomic mass is the same as average atomic mass.
Atomic mass is the average of masses of all the natural isotopes of the element. Atomic mass of an isotope is the mass of the atom of that isotope.
