The table below shows the number of protons, neutrons, electrons and the mass numbers of some atoms Q, R, Y and Z. The letters used are not the usual symbols of the elements. Complete the table above. i. Identify a pair of isotopes from the atoms represented by letters Q, R, Y and Z. ii. If the two isotopes occur in nature in equal proportions, calculate the relative atomic mass. iii. Draw a dot and cross diagram for the bonding in the compound formed between Z and oxygen. Write an equation for the reaction. Z reacts with oxygen to form a compound. Write an equation for the reaction.

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

1.i. Complete the table above.

  1. Determine the number of electrons for Q, R, Y, and Z.

    For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

    • Q: Protons = 6, so Electrons = 6.
    • R: Protons = 6, so Electrons = 6.
    • Y: Electrons = 5, so Protons = 5.
    • Z: Electrons = 6, so Protons = 6.
  2. Determine the mass number for Q, R, Y, and Z.

    Mass number = Protons + Neutrons.

    • Q: Protons = 6, Neutrons = 6
