An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses neutrons.

  • True
  • False

False- An ion forms when an atom gains or loses electrons, not neutrons. Gaining or losing neutrons forms isotopes.

An element has three isotopes:

  • Isotope 1 with a mass of 35.0 amu and an abundance of 25.0%.
  • Isotope 2 with a mass of 36.0 amu and an abundance of 50.0%.
  • Isotope 3 with a mass of 37.0 amu and an abundance of 25.0%.

Calculate the average atomic mass of the element.

Average Atomic Mass=(35.0×0.25)+(36.0×0.50)+(37.0×0.25) = 8.75 + 18.00 + 9.25 = 36.00 amu

=8.75+18.00+9.25=36.00amu

Answer: 36.00 amu
