1. Electrons of an atom are moving around the nucleus at what distance compared to the radius of its nucleus?

1,000,000

100,000

1,000

100

2.An atom has 11 protons in a nucleus. What is the atomic number?

13

11

3. An atom has 11 protons in the nucleus of an atom. This is an atom of what element?

aluminum

lithium

sodium

hydrogen

4.What is the fundamental difference between the Bohr model of an atom and the quantum mechanical model?

Bohr model describes electrons in orbits; quantum model describes electrons in orbitals.

Bohr model describes electron with 1 quantum number; quantum model uses 4 quantum numbers.

Bohr model considers electron to be a particle; quantum mechanics considers it to be a wave.

5.Is an atomic number a whole number?

No, it cannot be a whole number because a nucleus contains neutrons as well as protons.

Yes, it can only be a whole number because it is the number of neutrons in an atom.

Yes, it can only be a whole number because it is the number of protons in an atom.

No, it cannot be a whole number because it can gain or lose electrons.

6. Is the mass of an isotope a whole number?

No, electrons do not contribute to the mass.

Yes, it is a whole number because it is the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.

No, it is the relative mass of an isotope compared to carbon12.

Yes, it is a whole number because it is the number of protons in an atom.

7.Is the mass number a whole number?

Yes, it is a whole number because it is the sum of the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.

No, the mass number is the mass compared to the mass of carbon12.

Yes, it is a whole number because it is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

No, it can gain or lose electrons, so it cannot be a whole number.

8.Is the atomic weight a whole number?

Yes, it is the weight of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.

Yes, atomic weight is the weight of the protons.

No, it is the mass compared to the mass of carbon12, when weighted according to abundance in nature.

No, all protons do not have the same mass.

9.Why does the carbon12 isotope have a whole-number mass but not the other isotopes?

Carbon12 does not have a whole-number mass.

All isotopes have whole-number masses.

Carbon12 is assigned a mass of exactly 12.00 and the mass of other isotopes are compared to this mass.

10.What do the members of the noble gas family have in common? They

are mostly chemically inert.

almost never react with other elements.

have filled outer electron configurations.

11. What are the differences between the members of the noble gas family?

atomic number

atomic mass number

mass of isotopes

12.How are the isotopes of an element similar?

16. Explain how you know that the electron configurations

(a) boron = 1s2 2s22p1

(b) aluminum = 1s2 2s22p6 3s23p1

(c) potassium = 1s2 2s22p6 3s23p6 4s1

have the correct total number of electrons.

(a) Boron is atomic number and there are electrons.

(b) Aluminum is atomic number and there are electrons.

(c) Potassium is atomic number and there are electrons.

Explanation / Answer

1) Radius of Atom = around 10^-10 m

radius of nucleus = 10^-15 m

So electrons are around 100,000 times away from the center than the radius of nucleus

2) Atomic number= Number of protons = 11

3) Sodium has 11 protons

4) last option, In bohr model electrons are particles and in quantum models we consider them as wave.

5) Yes, it can only be a whole number because it is the number of protons in an atom.
