A certain atom has an atomic mass of 19 and atomic number of 9?

a. How many protons does it have?

b. How many neutrons does it have?

c. Using a periodic table, what element is this?

d. If its charge is +2, how many electrons does it have?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given: atomic number= Z= 9

Atomic mass number = A = 19

A) number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number = Z = 9

B) number of neutrons in an atom is calculated by subtracting atomic mass number with atomic number

n = A - Z = 19 - 9 = 10

C) using periodic table, the element having atomic number 9 is Fluorine. Hence the given atom is of fluorine.

D) in neutral atom, number of protons and number of electrons are equal. If electrons are removed from the atom, the atom acquires positive charge. And if electrons are added in neutral atom, then it acquires negative charge..

Here the charge of the atom is 2+ means 2 electrons have been removed so number of electrons in it would be 9-2 = 7

Is Atomic Mass and Atomic Weight the same terms? Or is Atomic mass and Mass Number the same terms? On the MCAT Kaplan books it says that atomic mass and mass number are the same thing but online and other chemistry textbooks, atomic mass and atomic weight are the same thing. Can someone please clarify which two terms are the same thing or are they all different? I really need help to make sure I understand this for the MCAT.
