8. The periodic table uses the element _carbon - 12__ for the basis of the atomic masses.
9. The ____average atomic mass__________ of an element is the weighted average of the masses of the
isotopes of the element.
10. Calculate the average atomic mass:

11. Neon has two major isotopes, Neon-20 and Neon-22. Out of every 250 neon atoms, 225 will be Neon-20
(19.992 g/mol), and 25 will be Neon-22 (21.991 g/mol). What is the average atomic mass of Neon?
225/250 = 90% and 25/250 = 10%
So… .90(19.992 u) + (.10(21.991 u) = x
17.9928 + 2.1991 = x
20.1919 u = x
12. The atomic mass of lithium is 6.94, the naturally occurring isotopes are 6Li = 6.015121 amu, and
7
Li = 7.016003 amu. Determine the percent abundance of each isotope.
6.015121(X) + 7.016003(1-X) = 6.94
6.015121(X) + 7.016003X - 7.016003) = 6.94
(6.015121x - 7.016003x) = 6.94 -7.016003
-1.000882x = -0.076003
X = 0.075936 = 7.59% so, the other % is 92.41%

15. Thallium-208 has a half-life of 3.053 min. How long will it take for 120.0g to decay to 7.50 g? 120g/24 =
7.50 g so 4 half life’s – so 12.212 minutes
16. Gold-198 has a half-life of 2.7 days. How much of a 96g sample of gold-198 will be left after 8.1 days?
8.1/2.7 = 3 half lives so 96/23 = 12 grams
17. Which of Dalton’s postulates were not correct? Atoms are indivisible and atoms of the same element are
identical.
18. What did Rutherford conclude from his gold foil experiment? He concluded the there was a positive mass
to the atom called the nucleus.
19. How did the plum pudding model differ from Bohr’s planetary model? Thomson’s plum pudding model
was a positive mass with negative particles and no particular arrangement. Bohr established the idea of
energy levels for the electrons to occupy.
20. What is the difference between an atom’s ground state and its excited state? The ground state is the energy
level an electron normally occupies while the excited state occurs when the atom gains energy and
electrons jump to a higher energy level.
21. Electrons in the outermost energy level are called ___valence electrons_______.

What is wrong with the following notation? There is no 2d sublevel and a d-sublevel should have 5
orbitals.
