Vibranium-150                    10%

Vibranium-157                    13%

Vibranium-163                    77%

160.92 amu or g/mol

400

₉₇²⁵¹Bk

500

Send up five representatives from your group to model an atom. Explain what everyone represents and which part of the atom they are in.

Proton, Neutron, and Electron appropriately placed

Unit 3

100

What charge do ions from the Alkali metals tend to form?

+1

200

Rank the following atoms from smallest to largest atomic radius:

Potassium (K)                     Antimony (Sb)

Lead (Pb)                            Oxygen (O)

Oxygen, Antimony, Lead, Potassium

Even though potassium has fewer energy levels, it has a large atomic radius because it has a relatively weak nucleus

m_L - ?                         m_s - ?

N - 2                 L - 1

m_L - -1, 0, or 1      m_s - +1/2 or -1/2

1.95g

500

List the ions in Neon's isoelectronic series in order from smallest to largest

Al³⁺ Mg²⁺ Na⁺ Ne F^- O^2- N^3-

They all have the same number of electrons, so size is determined by how big (strong) the nucleus is
