II. Determine if the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.

Elements differ in the number of protons , electrons and

neutrons.
The proton is negatively charged.
The mass number is not the same as the atomic mass.
Amu means atomic meter unit.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in mass
number.
III. Tantalum (Ta) is a transition metal that is used in surgery. Two isotopes have been
identified, Ta-180 (0.012%) and Ta-181 (99.99%). The atomic mass of Ta-180 is 179.9475
amu and that of Ta-181 is 180.9480 amu. Compute for the average atomic mass of Ta.
(5pts)

Atomic Mass of Ta-180=179.9475amu

Atomic Mass of Ta-181=180.9480amu
Percentage abundance of Ta-180=0.012%
Percentage abundance of Ta-181=99.99%
