I.
1. a minus-charged particle of an atom..... Electrons
2. a neutral (no charge) particle found in the nucleus of an atom..... Neutrons
3. a positive-charged particle in the nucleus of an atom.... Protons
4. a system of comparing atomic masses to carbon.... Relative mass
II. The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of Protons.
III. The atomic number is always equal to the atomic mass. False.
IV. Atomic mass minus atomic number =number if neutrons.
V. A proton in the nucleus of an atom has an electrical charge of: +ve (positive).
VI. The atomic number of calcium is 20. This number means that calcium has 20 protons. The atomic mass of calcium is 40. How many neutrons does calcium have?
Answer: No of neutrons = atomic mass-atomic number
No of neutrons= 40-20=20 neutrons.
VII. Helium has an atomic number of 2. This number also means that helium has 2 protons. The atomic mass of helium is 4. How many neutrons does helium have?
Answer: No of neutrons = atomic mass-atomic number
No of neutrons= 4-2=2 neutrons.
VIII. The relative atomic mass of a proton or neutron is 1.
IX. The relative atomic mass is always a mass that is compared to the element Corbon.
X. Name the three kinds of sub-atomic particles found in an atom: electron, proton and neutron
