- Q2Why do chlorine and copper have relative atomic masses which are not whole numbers, i.e. 35.5Cl and 63.5Cu?They are determined from the isotopes of the elements.They have gained half an electron.They contain half a neutron.They contain half a proton.They have lost half an electron.30s
- Q3Will the isotopes of hydrogen H-1, H-2 and H-3 have the same chemical properties? Select the correct answer to explain why or why not.Yes, as they have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons.No, as they have a different number of neutrons.Yes, as they have the same number of electrons.Yes, as they have a different number of neutrons.No, as they have the same number of protons and electrons.30s
- Q4Many isotopes are radioactive and can be used for medical purposes, however their abundance is very low. Calculate the abundance of Cr-50 when Cr-52 is 84.0%, Cr-53 is 9.5% and Cr-54 is 2.5%.Users enter free textType an Answer30s
- Q5Calculate the relative atomic mass of silicon. The three silicon isotopes have atomic masses and relative abundances of 28 (92.2%), 29 amu (4.7%) and 30 amu (3.1%). Give your answer to 1d.p.Users enter free textType an Answer30s
