Properties of Atoms and
the Periodic Table
I. Testing Concepts
Directions: Determine whether the italicized term makes each statement true or false. If the statement is true,
write true in the blank at the left. If the statement is false, write in the blank the term that makes the statement
true.
1. The central core of an atom is called the hub.
2. The chart showing the classifications of elements according to their
properties and increasing atomic numbers is called the periodic table.
3. The mass of an electron is about equal to the mass of a proton.
4. Elements arranged in vertical columns in the periodic table are
called periods.
5. The region around the nucleus occupied by the electrons is called
the negative zone.
6. The symbol for chlorine is C.
7. The maximum number of electrons in the second energy level of an
atom is 4.

8. Two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14. These isotopes
differ from one another by two electrons.
9. Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
10. Seven electrons in the outermost energy level is characteristic of a
metal.
11. Quarks can be produced by bombarding protons with protons.
12. The number of protons in an atom is called the atomic mass.
13. The sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in
an atom is the mass number.
14. The weighted average of the mass numbers of all the isotopes that
occur in nature for a particular element is the average atomic number.
15. A diagram showing only outer energy level electrons is called a(n)
periodic table.
16. Elements having three or fewer electrons in the outer energy level
are classified as nonmetals.
17. The atomic masses of the elements are not whole value numbers
because of the existence of quarks.
18. The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons.

3. Suppose that you have just discovered a new element and have named it “neptunite.” While studying
your new element you find that it has two isotopes. These are neptunite-220 and neptunite-250.
What is the average atomic mass of your new element? (Assume that these two isotopes are present
in equal amounts in nature.)
