Diane, Timothy and Ira were having a discussion about isotopes and the tendency to react. Which do you suggest offers the best explanation? Diane felt that isotopes would react the same as the atoms of the same element since they had the same number of valence electrons. Timothy suggested that they would react the same since the isotope and the atom of the same element would have the same number of total electrons. Ira said that the isotopes would react different since the number of neutrons would vary and therefore the atomic mass of the isotopes versus the atom of the same element would be different.
There are only two naturally-occuring stable isotopes of chlorine. The mass and natural abundance of one of them is listed in the table below. Use whatever data you need from the ALEKS Periodic Table to determine the identity, mass and natural abundance of the other isotope, and complete the table. Be sure your answers have the correct number of significant digits. isotope 35 Cl Da mass (amu) 34.969 0 natural abundance 75.78% % 0 X 000 Ar

Fill in the blanks. The positions of atoms on the periodic table of the ____ are determined by how many _____ are present in their nuclei; this also is called their atomic _____. An atom's nucleus is made up of protons, which have _____ charges and ___ that do not have a ____charge. The total of protons and neutrons in an atom defines its atomic ____ . Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei are considered _____ . The nucleus is surrounded by electrons, which have charges. Electrons are not found randomly, but occur in discrete _____ that are grouped into "shells". The chemical properties of an atom, that is, the kinds of chemical reactions it has with other atoms or molecules, are determined by properties of its outermost set of orbitals, which is called its _____ shell. Two atoms will react with each other if the reaction leads to a more stable state; specifically so that their valence shells are ____ . The most common…

NucleonsThe term nucleon refers to the particles found in the nucleus of an atom, namely protons and neutrons. A single hydrogen atom (one proton plus one electron) has a mass of 1.007825 amu. A single neutron has a mass of 1.008665 amu. Note that amu stands for "atomic mass unit" and is sometimes abbreviated with the symbol uu. 1 uu is equivalent to 1.665387×10-27 kgPart A Calculate the mass defect of the fluorine nucleus 19-9F.
