Short Answer Questions

1) Describe an atom and what it is made up of according to modern atomic theory.

Answer: An atom is made up of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. The nucleus contains protons
(positively charged particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) and is where most of the mass of an atom
comes from, but is a tiny fraction of an atom's volume. The nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged
electrons, the same number as there are protons in the nucleus. An atom is therefore neutral overall.

3) Why do the isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size?
Answer: Isotopes only differ in the number of neutrons contained within the nucleus. Since the size of
an atom is determined by the electrons, isotopes of the same element should be the same size.

4) Why doesn't a mass spectrum of silver have a peak at 107.9 amu?

Answer: The average atomic mass of silver is 107.9 amu, but there are no atoms of silver that weigh
107.9 amu. Silver has two isotopes.
Diff: 2 Var: 1 Page Ref: 2.6
Global: G2, G8

5) Are anions typically larger or smaller than their corresponding atom? Why?
Answer: Anions are larger than their corresponding atom because the anion contains more electrons
than the atom. Since electrons repel one another AND determine the size of the atom or ion, adding
electrons to the atom to form an anion makes it larger.
