What is the atomic number for an element with three protons?

• 2
• 1
• 3
• 6

The atomic mass of an element is the ___.

• average of the mass number and the atomic number for the element

• weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of the element

• total mass of the isotopes of the element

• total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus

Calculate the average atomic mass of the element iron (Fe) using the following data:

[Isotope / % abundance]

[Iron 54 / 6% ] [Iron 56 / 92% ] [ Iron 57 / 2% ]

• 53.7 amu

• 54.9 amu

• 5592.0 amu

• 55.9 amu

An isotope has three forms.  30% have a mass of 4 amu, 20% have a mass of 5 amu and 50% have a mass of 3 amu.  Average atomic mass will be closest to

• 2 amu
• 3 amu
• 4 amu
• 5 amu
