The ___ of an element is the average mass of an element's naturally occurring atom, or isotopes, taking into account the ___ of each isotope.

Atomic mass; percentage

Give the symbol of and the number of neutrons in one atom of: (Mass numbers are ALWAYS whole numbers) Barium Carbon Fluorine Europium Bismuth Hydrogen Magnesium Mercury

Barium -- Ba, 81 Carbon -- C, 6 Fluorine -- E, 10 Europium -- Eu, 90 Bismuth -- Bi, 126 Hydrogen -- H, 0 Magnesium -- Mg, 12 Mercury -- Hg, 121

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's ___, and the number of electrons determines the ___ of the element.

Identity; behavior

Give the symbol of and the number of protons in one atom of: Lithium Iron Oxygen Krypton Bromine Copper Mercury Helium

Lithium -- Li, 3 Iron -- Fe, 26 Oxygen -- O, 8 Krypton -- Kr, 36 Bromine -- Br, 35 Copper -- Cu, 29 Mercury -- Hg, 80 Helium -- He, 2

The ___ of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in the ___ of the atom.

Mass number; nucleus

The mass number is used to calculate the number of ___ in one atom of an element. In order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the ___ from the ___.

Neutrons; atomic number; mass number

Their respective charges are:

Positive, neutral, negative

The 3 particles of the atom are:

Proton, neutron, electron

The atomic number tells you the number of ___ in one atom of an element. It also tells you the number of ___ in a neutral atom of that element. The atomic number gives the "identity" of an element as well as its location on the periodic table. No two different elements will have the ___ atomic number.

Protons; electrons; same
