Modern Atomic Theory

Complete the following:

          Subatomic      /     Location     /     Charge      /    Mass (amu)
          Particle
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1.    Proton             inside nucleus          1+                ?????
  2.    Neutron                  ?????              ?????                 1
  3.    Electron                 ?????                1-                    0

  If the statement is
true, write "true." If it is false, change the underlined word or words to make the statement true. Write your answer on the line provided.

  ____________ 4. Moseley discovered that all atoms of an element have the same number of
neutrons in their nuclei.
  ____________ 5. In an individual, neutral atom, the number of protons always equals the number of
electrons.
____________   6. When an atom loses or gains one or more electrons, it is called an
ion.
  ____________ 7. The average mass of an element's atoms is called the atomic
number.
____________   8. 1 atomic mass unit (amu) is equal to
1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
____________   9. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of
electrons are called isotopes.

Calculating Atomic Mass

Samples of an unknown element X were collected and their masses were recorded. Use the information given to answer the following questions.

   Isotope      /  Mass (amu)    /   Percent Abundance    /   Mass Number

    1                     37.765                         9.67                             ???
    2                     39.056                       78.68                            ???
    3                     40.003                       11.34                            ???
    4                     41.060                         0.31                            ???

12.. Fill in the mass number for each sample of element X in the data table.
13.. What is the most common isotope of element X? _________________
14.  Calculate the average isotope of element X.
15.  Use your periodic table to identify element X based on it's average atomic mass. ___________________________
16.  What is the atomic number of this element? _______________
17.  Draw an atom of this element. Make sure to correctly represent the # of protons & neutrons in the atom.
