1) Describe an atom and what it is made up of according to modern atomic theory. Answer: An atom is made up of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. The nucleus contains protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) and is where most of the mass of an atom comes from, but is a tiny fraction of an atom's volume. The nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons, the same number as there are protons in the nucleus. An atom is therefore neutral overall. Diff: 2 Page Ref: 2.3 2) The atomic number is equal to the number of Answer: protons Diff: 1 Page Ref: 2.6 3) Why do the isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size? Answer: Isotopes only differ in the number of neutrons contained within the nucleus. Since the size of an atom is determined by the electrons, isotopes of the same element should be the same size. Diff: 1 Page Ref: 2.6 4) Why doesn't a mass spectrum of silver have a peak at 107.9 amu? Answer: The average atomic mass of silver is 107.9 amu, but there are no atoms of silver that weigh 107.9 amu. One isotope weighs more and another weighs less. Diff: 1 Page Ref: 2.6 5) Are anions typically larger or smaller than their corresponding atom? Why? Answer: Anions are larger than their corresponding atom because the anion contains more electrons than the atom. Since electrons repel one another AND determine the size of the atom or ion, adding electrons to the atom to form an anion makes it larger. Diff: 1 Page Ref: 2.6 6) Give the name of the element whose symbol is Na. Answer: sodium Diff: 2 Page Ref: 2.6 7) Describe the difference between ions and isotopes. Answer: Ions have the loss or gain of electrons; isotopes differ in the number of neutrons. Diff: 2 Page Ref: 2.6 8) Give an example of an halogen. Answer: F, Br, I, or Cl Diff: 1 Page Ref: 2.7 9) What group of elements in the periodic table are the most unreactive and why? Answer: The noble gases are the most unreactive since they do not combine with other elements to form compounds. Diff: 1 Page Ref: 2.7

10) Why do elements in the same group tend to have similar chemical properties? Answer: Since elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons (similar electron configurations) they tend to have similar chemical reactivity, since chemical reactions typically involve valence electrons.
