Chapter 3, Problem 81P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of protons in Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In an atom, number of protons and electrons can be calculated from atomic number and mass number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons present in the neutral atom. The mass number is sum of number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of electrons in Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In an atom, number of protons and electrons can be calculated from atomic number and mass number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons present in the neutral atom. The mass number is sum of number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The noble gas having the same electron configurations as in Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals. This helps to indicate electrons and orbitals easily.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The role of Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in the body needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Ions play an important role in the body. Calcium, potassium, sodium, chloride, and copper ions are major ions and some key ions that participate in the body's electrical events.

The most common isotope of oxygen has a mass number of 16, but two other isotopes having mass numbers of 17 and 18 are also known. For each isotope, give the following information: (a) the number of protons; (b) the number of neutrons; (c) the number of electrons in the neutral atom; (d) the group number; (e) the element symbol using superscripts and subscripts.
While the most common isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 14 (nitrogen-14), a radioactive isotope of nitrogen has a mass number of 13 (nitrogen-13). Nitrogen-13 is used in PET (positron emission tomography) scans by physicians to monitor brain activity and diagnose dementia. For each isotope, give the following information: (a) the number of protons; (b) the number of neutrons; (c) the number of electrons in the neutral atom; (d) the group number; and (e) the number of valence electrons.
Look up the following information for the element iridium: (i) number of protons, neutrons, and electrons; (ii) atomic number and average atomic mass; (iii) the charge of the anion(s) or cation(s) that it commonly forms; (iv) the mass of its two most common isotopes and the number of protons and neutrons in each one. Also, comment briefly on the presence of this element in meteorite craters and the significance of this observation.
