4 naturally-occuring isotopes of an unknown element are shown in the table below. Calculate the average atomic mass of this element. Show your work and round your answer to the nearest hundredth place (2 places after the decimal).


Match the key terms from this topic to their appropriate definitions.
Atomic Mass
The number of protons within an element.
Electron
The mass of an atom (protons + neutrons).
Neutron
A positive particle located inside of the nucleus; has a mass of 1 amu.
Atomic Number
A particle located inside of the nucleus without a charge; has a mass of 1 amu.
Isotope
A negative particle located outside of the nucleus; has a mass of 1 amu.
Protons
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
A chemist finds an unknown atom that contains 23 protons, 28 neutrons, and 23 electrons. What element is it?
Boron (B)
Vanadium (V)
Nickel (Ni)
Antimony (Sb)

Phosphorous - 16
Phosphorous - 31
Gallium - 46
Phosphorous - 15
Sulfur - 15
Sulfur - 31

Argon has 18 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons.
Argon has 18 protons, 22 neutrons, and 18 electrons.
Argon has 22 protons, 18 neutrons, and 22 electrons.
Argon has 18 protons, 40 neutrons, and 18 electrons.
Review the isotope symbol shown below.


Which statement best describes the particles held within the nucleus of this atom?
This atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons in its nucleus.
This atom has 7 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus.
This atom has 6 protons and 7 neutrons in its nucleus.
This atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus.
Select all which are true
The atom has 9 Neutrons
The atom has 10 Neutrons
The atom has 5 Protons
The atom is Neon - 19
The atom has 10 Protons
Which of the following best explains why the atomic mass on the Periodic Table is a decimal.
The atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the mass of only 1 isotope of each element.
The atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the average of all isotopes of that element.
Some elements have parts of neutrons, not whole neutrons.
The Periodic Table is wrong, duh...
