Atoms have positively charged particles, negatively charged particles, and particles with no charge. Why is an atom electrically neutral?

• Atoms have the same number of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge).
• An atom’s nucleus has only neutrons, which have no charge.
• Atoms contain subatomic particles and not electrically charged particles.
• Atoms have neutrons and protons in the nucleus, and they do not have a charge.

A baker removed a cake from a 177°C oven and placed it on the counter of a 25°C kitchen. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the cake temperature will _________, resulting in a final cake temperature very near ___________ °C.

• increase, 177°C
• decrease, 25°C
• stay the same, 177°C

Uranium has three naturally occurring isotopes: uranium-238, uranium-235, and uranium-234. The atomic mass for uranium is 238.029 amu. Which of these three isotopes is most abundant? Explain.

• Uranium-234, because it is the lightest isotope.
• Uranium-235, because it is used in nuclear reactors.
• Uranium-238, because the average atomic mass is closest to 238.
• All three isotopes are equally abundant.
