7.3 Atoms have mass
Pages 138–139

Check your learning 7.3


Remember and understand

1 The following table shows the numbers of subatomic particles in a range of atoms.

a Complete the table.

Atom Atomic Mass Number of Number of Number of


name and number number protons neutrons electrons
symbol

Calcium 20 40 20 20 20
(Ca)

Fluorine (F) 9 19 9
10 9
Sodium 11 11 12
(Na) 23 11
Argon (Ar) 40 18
18 22 18
Sulfur (S) 16 16
16 32 16
b Explain how you were able to calculate the number of neutrons in the argon atom.

for exaple fluorine has a atomic number of 9 and its mass number is 19

so if i do 9 - 19 = 10 so the number of nuetrons is 10

c Explain how you were able to work out the atomic number and the mass number of the sulfur
atom.

i used a periodic tabel

Apply and analyse

2 Imagine all the elements did not have names and were just identified by their atomic numbers. Do you
think that this would make chemistry easier to understand? What problems do you think this would
cause? What would be the advantages?

no there wold be no advantages because if you looked at a periodic tabel it would look lick a reuler number chart

3 What subatomic particle is not found in the nucleus of the atom?

4 The atomic number of a nitrogen atom is 7 and the mass number is 14. How many electrons are in
this atom?

5 What atom has twice as many protons as an oxygen atom?

Evaluate and create

6 Is there always the same number of neutrons as protons in an atom? Explain your answer with an
example.
