Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 steps6. a) Define:
Part i
Atomic number
The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It determines the chemical identity of an element.
Part ii
Mass number
The mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
6. b) Calculate the relative atomic mass of element X.
Identify the mass numbers and abundances of the isotopes.
Isotope X1: Mass number = 35, Abundance = 75%
Isotope X2: Mass number = 37, Abundance = 25%Use the formula for relative atomic mass.
Relative atomic mass
Perform the calculation.
The relative atomic mass of element X is .
6. c) Define the term isotopes.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers.
