C; Difficulty: medium; Reference:

Define in simple terms the concept of natural abundance for the isotopes of any element and how it determines the average atomic masses of the elements.

Imagine taking a random sample of 100 atoms of any element in the periodic table. The natural abundance of each isotope corresponds to how many atoms of each isotope we would have among those 100 atoms from our original sample. Because not all of the atoms from a single element are equal in everything (i.e., they may have different number of neutrons), the contribution to the average atomic mass of an element needs to be calculated from not only the masses of each of its isotopes but also their relative contributions to the total mass based on their natural abundances. Difficulty: medium; Reference:

In 1911 Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment known as the "Gold Foil Experiment." He fired a stream of positively charged alpha particles at a sheet of gold foil which was approximately 1000 atoms thick. Alpha particles have a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2. Almost all of the alpha particles passed straight through 1000 atoms of gold. A few particles were deflected or even bounced back from the foil. Alpha particles are more than 7000 times more massive than electrons. What can you conclude regarding the structure of the atom from these observations?

The fact that most of the particles passed straight through 1000 atoms and struck nothing means that the vast majority of the volume of an atom is empty space. The alpha particle has a mass of 4 amu and a charge of +2. They would be deflected by relatively massive positively charged regions. Since only very few particles were deflected, this region would have to be very small. Since the majority of the mass of the atom is located in this very small volume, the volume would be extremely dense. As a result of these interpretations Rutherford envisioned an atom with these properties: (1) The great majority of the volume is empty space. (2) There is a very small, very dense, positively charged region within the atom. We now call this region the nucleus.; Difficulty: easy; Reference:
