6. 3. How many of each type of isotope are present in the sample of 10 atoms?
2 Boron-10, 8 Boron-11

7. 10, 11 (protons + neutrons = atomic mass for each atom)
4. What is the atomic mass of each type of isotope? How did you arrive at your answer?
10, 11 (protons + neutrons = atomic mass for each atom)

8. It’s the same as on the periodic table!
How would you figure out the average atomic mass of the ten atoms?
Complete the calculation and show your work.
How does your answer compare to the atomic weight of boron listed in the periodic table?
(2 x 10) + (8 x 11) = 10
It’s the same as on the periodic table!

13. 8. How many isotopes does argon have?3

14. 22 because the average atomic mass is close to 40.
9. Which isotope of argon is the most commonly found? Explain your reasoning.
22 because the average atomic mass is close to 40.

15. 4, the average atomic mass is close to 7
10. If you somehow managed to have a single atom of lithium isolated, how many neutrons will it probably have in its nucleus? Explain.
4, the average atomic mass is close to 7

16. ANSWERS to HOMEWORK 1.3.3 Questions 1-6 (page 64)

17. Check-in: Carbon has 3 isotopes, with masses of 12, 13 and 14
Check-in: Carbon has 3 isotopes, with masses of 12, 13 and 14. Which isotope is the most abundant? How do you know?
Carbon 12—it’s closest to the average atomic mass on the periodic table (12.011)

18. 1. Explain the different between atomic number and atomic mass.
Atomic number is = to the number of protons while the atomic mass is an average mass of all atoms of that element including isotopes.

19. 2. Explain the different between the average atomic mass given on the periodic table, and the mass number of an atom.
Mass number is the number of protons + neutrons for a single atom while the average atomic mass includes all isotopes of a given element.
