 What is the mass number of this element?

• 5
• 27
• 32
• 59

Answer explanation

The mass number of an atom is the mass of the nucleus:

Protons + Neutrons = Mass

In this example:

Protons (27) + Neutrons (32) = Mass (59)

An atom of a certain element has 11 electrons, and a mass number of 23. This element is very reactive in room temperature. How many neutrons are in this atom?

• 11

• 12

• 33

• 23

Answer explanation

An atom of a certain element has 11 electrons, and a mass number of 23. This element is very reactive in room temperature. How many neutrons are in this atom?

If you use your APE MAN formula:

A (Atomic Number) = 11

P (Protons) = 11

E (Electrons) = 11

M (Mass Number) = 23

• -- A (Atomic Number) = 11

  • N (Neutrons) = 12
