Where is the nucleus in the atom? 

The center

100

Where is the electron cloud? 

The outside rings of the atom. 

100

What charge do protons, neutrons and electrons have? 

Protons + 

Neutrons 0

electrons -

100

What elements has 15 protons? 

Phosphorous 

100

What subatomic particle never changes between two isotopes? 

Number of protons

200

What is in the nucleus? 

Protons and Neutrons

200

What is in the energy levels? 

electrons

200

What makes the mass number? 

protons + neutrons

200

What element has a mass number of 27 and 14 neutrons? 

Aluminum

200

What changes between two isotopes of Uranium? 

Number of neutrons so atomic mass

300

What inside the nucleus identifies the element? 

The number of protons

300

What is the charge of the energy levels? 

negative

300

What identifies an element? 

Protons

Identify the element below. 


sodium

Three atoms are listed below. Identify which two are isotopes. 

1. P=4  N=5  E=4

2. P=5   N=5   E=5

3. P=4  N=6  E=4

Number 1 and 3 because they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons

400

What is the charge of the nucleus? 

positive

400

What is the atomic number? 

number of protons

400

Identify the isotope below. 

1939X

Potassium

400

The average atomic mass for Iron is 55.845. It has three isotopes, Fe-54, Fe-55, and Fe-56. Which isotope is in the greatest abundance? How do you know?

Fe-56 because the average atomic mass is closest to this isotope's mass

500

Compared to the rest of the atom, is the nucleus small or large? 

small
500

Why can you assume that the number of protons = the number of electrons? 

Protons are positive and electrons are negative and an atom must be neutral. 

500

What is the symbol for an atom that has 12 protons, 13 neutrons, and 12 electrons? 

2512Mg

500

Calculate the average atomic mass of sulfur, which occurs as two isotopes that have the following atomic masses and abundances in nature: S-32, 87.54% and Li-33, 12.46%.
