Understanding P-Man and Atomic Structure

What does the acronym P-Man help us understand?

• The structure of molecules

• The components of an atom

• The behavior of gases

• The properties of liquids

What does the 'P' in P-Man represent?

• The mass number

• The atomic number

• The number of electrons

• The number of neutrons

Why are atoms considered neutral?

• They have more protons than electrons

• They have equal numbers of protons and electrons

• They have no protons

• They have more electrons than protons

How is the mass number calculated?

• By adding the atomic number to the number of neutrons

• By subtracting the atomic number from the number of neutrons

• By adding the number of protons and electrons

• By multiplying the atomic number by the number of neutrons

What information can be derived from the numbers in the periodic table using P-Man?

• The atomic and mass numbers

• The chemical properties of elements

• The physical state of elements

• The reactivity of elements
