Question 17 Report
An element Z, contained 90% of 168Z and 10% of Z1818 its relative atomic mass is?
Answer Details
Mass number of Z = 16 while that of Z is 18
90 x 16 = 14.4 10 x 18 = 1.8
100 1 100 1
it relative atomic mass = 14.4 + 1.8 = 162
Question 18 Report
An isotope has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 36. Which of the following gives the correct number of neutrons and protons in an atom of the isotope?
Answer Details
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
36 = 17 + X; X = 36 -17 = 19
19 neutrons and 17 protons
