(again, numbers in front of the symbol are exponents!!! including the answer choices!!)

Answer 4

#5: Iridium has two isotopes, 191Ir and 193Ir. If 193Ir is found in abundance of 62%, estimate which mass number the average atomic mass will be closest to.

A. 191

B. 192

C. 193

D. 19.2
**My answer: B. 192
(again, see above parentheses from#4.) :D

Answer 5

#6: An atom contains 32 protons and has a mass number of approximately 72 amu. What is the chemical symbol for the atom?

A. 72Ga

B. 72Ge

C. 72As

D. 72Zn
***im not too sure on this one, but i think its A. 72Ga

not too sure on this one tho :(

Answer 6

hiiii!! what do u think??? :D

Answer 7

hey! #1-#4 are right.

for #5, is D supposed to be 192.2? or 19.2?

#6 atomic number = protons.. 32 protons = Germanium

Answer 8

yayy!! :) and D is 19.2
i got 192.24, so i rounded to 192.. is that right??
and so #6 is B???

Answer 9

yep! i was just asking because if it was 192.2, that would've been correct. but no it's 192, so you're right (Y)

and 6 is B

Answer 10

woot woot!! =) thanks!! =)

Answer 11

:) noo prob
