6.

Use the information and table to answer the following question. A sample of phosphorus was isolated and analyzed to determine the percent abundance of each isotope. The results are recorded in the table.

a)

When the masses of 29, 31, and 32 are added and divided by 3 the average is closest to 31.

b)

Phosphorus-31 has the greatest percent abundance so the average atomic mass should be 31.

c)

Chlorine because the average of 16, 17, and 18 is 17 which is the atomic number of Chlorine.

d)

Oxygen because the isotope with the greatest percent abundance is close to its average atomic mass.

8.

Use the table to answer the following question. Which atoms in the table are the same element and with what reasoning?

a)

Atoms 1 and 2, because they have the same number of protons.

b)

Atoms 2 and 3, because they have the same number of electrons.

c)

Atoms 1 and 3, because the sum of all subatomic particles are equal.

d)

All atoms are the same because they have the same number of neutrons.

9.
