A nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton, but with no electrical charge, is called a(n) nuclide. neutron. electron. isotope.

What particle comprises about half the mass of an atom? Positron Neutron Electron None of the above

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different principal chemical properties. masses. numbers of protons. numbers of electrons.

An atom is electrically neutral because neutrons balance the protons and electrons. nuclear forces stabilize the charges. the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. the numbers of protons and neutrons are equal.

The smallest unit of an element that can exist either alone or in combination with other such particles of the same or different elements is the electron. proton. neutron. atom.

All isotopes of hydrogen contain one neutron. two electrons. one proton. two nuclei.

The atomic number of oxygen, 8, indicates that there are eight protons in the nucleus of an oxygen atom. oxygen nuclides. neutrons outside the oxygen atom's nucleus. energy levels in the oxygen atom's nucleus.

The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number. Avogadro number. mass number. average atomic mass.

As the mass number of an element’s isotopes of an element increases, the number of protons decreases. increases. remains the same. doubles each time the mass number increases.

All atoms of the same element have the same atomic mass. number of neutrons. mass number. atomic number.

The average atomic mass of an element is the mass of the most abundant isotope. may not equal the mass of any of its isotopes. cannot be calculated. always adds up to 100.
