IB Chemistry SL 1 Particulate Matter Question Bank

Protons: 22 AND Neutrons: 26 AND Electrons: 22

$1 \mathrm{~s}^{2} 2 \mathrm{~s}^{2} 2 \mathrm{p}^{6} 3 \mathrm{~s}^{2} 3 \mathrm{p}^{6} 3 \mathrm{~d}^{2}$

Atomic number: number of protons (in nucleus/atom);
Mass number:
(sum of) number of protons and neutrons (in nucleus/atom);
Isotopes of an element:
atoms of same element / atoms with same number of protons/atomic number/Z but different number of neutrons/mass number/ A;

Penalize once only use of the term element in the three definitions, for example, number of protons in an element or number of protons and neutrons in an element or element with the same atomic number but different mass number.

$\mathrm{Li}^{+}: 2 / 1 \mathrm{~s}^{2}$;
$B: 2,3 / 1 \mathrm{~s}^{2} 2 \mathrm{~s}^{2} 2 \mathrm{p}^{1}$;

correct mathematical expression set-up (e.g. $\left(\frac{x}{100}\right)(10)+\left[\frac{(100-x)}{(100)}\right](11)=10.81$ ); 19 \%;
