- Where are neutrons found?
- Examine the diagram of a helium atom above. Which letter labels the neutrons?
- Atoms of the same element can vary in the number of neutrons they have. These atoms are called isotopes‾\underline{\phantom{isotopes}}isotopes.
- The number of neutrons affects something‾\underline{\phantom{something}}something.
- Neutrons have a woah‾\underline{\phantom{woah}}woah.
- How does the mass of a neutron compare to the mass of a proton?
- The mass of Sodium, which has 11 protons, is about 22.99 AMU. How many neutrons does it most often have?
- The average mass of an atom of Mg is 24.305. Which of the following most accurately describes why it has a non-whole number mass?
- If two atoms have the same mass but a different number of neutrons, are they the same element?
- Two isotopes have different woah‾\underline{\phantom{woah}}woah.
- Two atoms with the same number of neutrons as each other can never be woah‾\underline{\phantom{woah}}woah.
- Neutrons do not affect the chemical properties of an atom to a significant degree. What effect, if any, would too many neutrons have on an atom?
- True or false: every atom has neutrons.
- Neutrons are made of quarks‾\underline{\phantom{quarks}}quarks.
