4.

A student defines the Mass Number as “The larger number listed by an element on the periodic table by each element, it usually has decimals.” This is not quite accurate. Which best explains why his description is wrong?

a)

The Mass Number is not always the same between isotopes of the same atom, so is not found on the periodic table.

b)

The mass number is equal to the atomic number.

c)

The mass number is equal to the average atomic mass.

d)

The Mass Number can also be smaller than the atomic number.

a)

I can’t see any elements on the periodic table where that’s true.

b)

Neither number considers the mass of electrons.

The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons combined, but the atomic number is the protons alone.

The atomic number only gives us information about the number of protons, and so has nothing to do with mass.

Which explains the strange decimal numbers on the periodic table?
